Dr J.-A. Fort - Traité élémentaire d'Histologie - 1873

Rare illustrated edition of 522 figures interleaved in the text of this medical work devoted to the study of the microscopic structure of tissues and organs of the human body, a discipline then in full development thanks to advances in microscopy and observation methods in anatomy -

Histology, whose aim is to understand the intimate organization of the elements that constitute the organism, occupies in the 19th century an increasingly important place between descriptive anatomy, physiology and pathology, and Fort's treatise precisely fits into this aim of making available to students and physicians the new knowledge relating to the constitution of living tissues -

The author first undertakes to present the general notions necessary for histological study, explaining the nature of the anatomical elements, their organization and their reciprocal relationships, before successively addressing the main tissues of the organism -
