A rare first edition of James Parkinson’s An Essay on the Shaking Palsy (1817) will be auctioned at Christie's. They contacted me and though I would love to buy it, it is beyond my means. It is to be offered in London on 10th December as part of a selection of works from the library of the Royal Society of Medicine in case anyone is interested in this seminal work that helped define our field. https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-6564101?ldp_breadcrumb=back #parkinson #michaelokun #fixelinstitute
