[Entire issue: (189)-204 pp.] Self-wraps. Fine. This article is a brief notice of a public discussion at an evening meeting of the Sorbonne conducted by Pasteur on the subject of spontaneous generation. It is reported by Monsieur Danicourt. It was not until thirty years after the researches of Charles Cagniard de la Tour (1777-1859), Theodor Schwann (1810-1882), and Friedrich Kutzing (1807-1893), that Louis Pasteur finally provided experimental proof for the actions of yeast in the fermentation process and finally laid to rest the theory of spontaneous generation.

Paris: Gauthier-Villars, 1876. First edition. Small inkstamp on final advertisement leaf, generally a fine copy/From the Collection of Allan B. Kirsner, M.D. 8vo. 387 pp. Half-title, advertisement at end. 12 lithographed plates. Modern half leather, untrimmed. "In Pasteur's important study of fermentation, he discovered that contamination of beer was caused by microorganisms found in the air and not spontaneously generated as had been previously believed. He made possible the scientific processing of beer, wine, milk, and other perishable products" (Heirs of Hippocrates 1898). Garrison-Morton-Norman 2485; Osler 1550.

Paris: Masson & fils, 1862. First edition. Good+. Octavo (22 cm); 512 pages, and five plates (four folding, one in color). Original half calf over green cloth. Extremities rubbed. Abrasion damage to plate 5. Bookplate of Andras Gedeon. References: PMM 336c; Garrison & Morton 2475; Gedeon, "Science and Technology in medicine," #50 (this copy). This volume contains both Pasteur's landmark experiments in fermentation, including the swan-necked culture vessels (illustrated on the engraved plate) which remained sterile despite being open to the atmosphere, and spectral analysis of salts by their color bands by Gustav Kirchhoff and Wilhelm Bunsen. The experiments described herein were the downfall of the theory of spontaneous generation and also eventually led to a better understanding of the brewing and fermentation process in beer and wine.

Paris: l'Imprimerie Impériale, 1866. First edition. Fine. 24 cm; viii, 264 pages, and 32 color lithograph plates. Many figures in text.

The research on fermentation and putrefaction led him to the epochal discovery of bacteria, from which he developed the germ-theory of disease.
