Footnotes
RARE FIRST EDITION OF THE FOUNDATION TEXT ON HOMEOPATHY. "Hahnemann, the founder of the homeopathy, embodied his theories in the Organon. The minute doses set down by him did much to correct the evils of the polypharmacy of his time, in which overdosage was pervasive... [he] rejected all the lessons of pathology and morbid anatomy" (Garrison-Morton).
Provenance: Bibliotheca Bavoroviana Leopoliensis, faded ink stamp on title; C. Lessell, "Ex Libris Lesselli" stamp inside upper cover, purchased from B & L. Rootenberg, 2000.
