---- PREMIERE EDITION FRANCAISE ET PREMIERE TRADUCTION EN LANGUE VULGAIRE ---- Ce texte parut pour la première fois en latin en 1753 dans le tome 2 des mémoires de la Société Royale de Göttingue ---- BON EXEMPLAIRE ---- "Glisson in 1677 had introduced the concept of irritability as a specific property of all tissues. Haller, in the above work, recorded his experimental proof of this and distinguished between nerve impulse (sensibility) and muscular contraction (irritability)". (Garrison N° 587 1753 latin édit. in Comment. Soc. reg. sci. Gotting. vol. 2) ---- "Haller, the greatest systemist since Galen and one of the most imposing figures in all medical history, synthesized all previous knowledge of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology... His most important original contribution to neurophysiology was his elaboration of Glisson's theory of irritability. His studies were based on 567 experiments on various animals by himself and his pupils. Haller clearly distinguished irritability and sensibility, which were considered to be separate and independent of each other. This included the heart, which Haller considered to function independently of the nervous system. Sensibility, the ability of the nerves to convey an impondeable very thin and invisible fluid , was the exclusive property of nervous tissue...". (MacHenry p. 109)**2561/ARM1A

In the above, probably HIS GREATEST WORK, Haller included some anatomical descriptions which were most valuable" ---- Heirs of Hippocrates N° 886 : "Historians agree that, of the vast amount of scientific literature produced by this gifted genius, this eight-volume work is his greatest and most important contribution. The work has had a lasting influence on the development of anatomy and physiology. In it Haller examined the entire body and in each section provided anatomical description along with data on the structure, physical properties and chemical composition of the part under consideration. There are many physiological discoveries in this book that were forgotten, only to be rediscovered again years later. Two notable examples are the myogenic theory of the heart beat and the role of bile in the digestion of fat" ---- "Haller synthesized all previous knowledge of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology in his monumental work Elementa physiologiae...

---- PREMIERE EDITOIN FRANCAISE ET PREMIERE TRADUCTION EN LANGUE VULGAIRE ---- Ce texte parut pour la première fois en latin dans les Elementa physiologia - 1757/1766 ---- "Haller applied his experimental methods to his studies of embryological development. He came to this studies through his investigations of the human gonads (he gave the first correct description of the rete testis, to which the designation Halleri is added in his honor). He then took up the chief generative problem of his time : the origin of the new individual... Haller began systematic investigations on hatching chicken eggs and, following the example of Harvey, on mammals. He made important specific discoveries in embryology. He was able to correct an error of Malpighi, who thought that he had observed a passageway connecting the right and left ventricles in the embryonic chickheart. He was further able to refute Jean Mery by showing that the blood flows from right to left through the foramen ovale in the interatrial septum and he perceived correctly that the branches of the unbilical vein leading into the fetal liver correspond to the branches of the portal vein in later development... He described with great accuracy the vascular system that supplies the bones... Haller's most important finding in embryology again shows his statistical bias ; he was able to devise a numerical method to demonstrate the rate of growth of the fetal body and its parts. By this quantitative determination he showed that fetal growth is relatively rapid in its earlier stages but that the tempo gradually decreases. These observations were entirely new and remain fundamentally correct...". (DSB VI p.65)**2559/D4

---- EDITION ORIGINALE de cette traduction de l'ouvrage de HARTLEY par l'Abbé SICARD, successeur de l'ABBE DE L'EPEE à la tête de l'institut des sourds-muets ---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- "THE FOUNTAINHEAD OF SOMME THE MOST IMPORTANT IDEAS IN PSYCHOLOGICAL, BIOLOGICAL AND SOCIOLOGICAL THOUTHT". (DSB) ---- "HARTELY wrote one important work, Observations on man, his frame, his duty and his expectation... The first volume of Observations is a tour de force which considers every significant topic in neurophysiology and human and comparative psychology, explained in terms of the development of complex ideas and habits from simple sensations and their repeated juxtapositions in experience. Mental associations were paralleled by vibrations of particles in the nervous system that persisted in the form of smaller 'vibratuncles' which provided the physical basis for memory... The significance of Hartley's work did not lie in any new empirical findings but in a set of assumptions and a framework for approaching the phenomena of life and mind. In the century following the publication of Observations, the work came to be seen as the fountainhead of some of the most important ideas in biological, psychological and social thought. Viewed in a narrow perspective, it was the first published work in english to use the term "psychology" in its modern sense. Hartley's principles provides the conceptual framework for the associationist tradition in modern psychology, including learning theory and psychoanalysis. His speculations about the physiology of the nervous system laid the foundations for the dominant sensory-motor interpretation of neuro-physiology and the experimental localization of functions in the cerebral cortex. It is misleading, however, to separate the psycholo-physiological from the more general aspects of Hartley's influence. His book is the central document in the history of attempts to apply the categories of science to the study of man and society... Considered conceptually, Hartley's was the first systematic elaboration of the explanatory principle that came to play an analogous role in the biological and human sciences to the concept of gravity or attraction in the physicochemical sciences. His unification of sensation, motion, association, and vibrations in a coherent mechanistic theory of experience and behavior provided the grounds for the secularization of the concepts of adaptation and utility... Erasmus Darwin used Hartley's mechanisms as the basis for his theory of evolution and for his system of medical classification in Zoonomia... Müller drew on Hartley's motor theory of learning, which was by then gaining support from findings in experimental neurophysiology. A. Bain integrated Hartley's sensory-motor physiology with the mainstream of the english tradition of associationist psychology. Théories of evolution also drew on Hartleian mechanisms. Thus, Spencer's evolutionary theory extended associationist learning theory from the experience of the individual to that of the race. J. Hughlings Jackson applied these conceptions to the physiology and pathology of the brain, while David Ferrier applied them to the experimental localization of cerebral functions...".
