Paris, 1860. 4to. 4 papers laid loose in a marbled cover, from "Comptes Rendus des Séances de l'Academie des Sciences" vol. 50: pp. 303-307 and pp. 849-854 - vol. 51: pp. 348-352 and 675-678. Uncut, light marginal browning and a few brownspots.

First edition. These 4 papers mark the downfall of the theory of spontaneous generation, and all of Pasteur's later work in this field can be seen as an extension, elaboration, and defence of the principles and methods set forth here, and it is from these conclusions all modern bacteriology and immunology have developed. Pasteur was awarded the Zecker Price 1861 for these discoveries. -
