Los 45 | Ivan Petrovich Pavlov (1849-1936). 
Ivan Petrovich Pavlov (1849-1936). 
Lektsii o rabote glavnykh pishchevaritel'nykh zhelez [Lectures on the work of the principal digestive glands]. St. Petersburg: I. N. Kushnereff for the Ministry of Communications, 1897.
First edition of Pavlov’s seminal work on biology and neurology, including his discovery of conditioned reflexes. ‘The sounds of a table being laid for lunch in another room may induce salivation in man, and the rattle of a dish in which its food is usually served will cause similar reaction in a dog. By detailed analysis of such facts as these Pavlov made great contributions to our knowledge of the physiology of digestion in a series of lectures delivered in St Petersburg and published in the following year [the present lot] […] The elaboration of these experiments and their extension to children demonstrated how great a proportion of human behaviour is explicable as a series of conditioned reflexes. Pavlov's results are, indeed, clearly complementary to those of Freud and many regard them as of more fundamental significance. Like Freud's, this was the work of one man and a completely new departure’ (PMM 385). Garrison-Morton 1022; Grolier/Horblit 83; Dibner 135; Grolier/Medicine 85.

Octavo (187 x 128mm). (Light spotting.) Contemporary Russian half calf over marbled boards (chip at head of spine, extremities slightly rubbed).
