Prima, rara, edizione della traduzione italiana dell'opera "A Treatise on the Disease of the Heart and Great Vessels" (Londra, 1832) di James Hope (1801-1841). "His great work came out at the end of 1831 (1832) with the title 0A Treatise on the Diseases of the Heart and Great Vessels0; comprising a new view of the Physiology of the Heart's Action, according to which the physical signs are explained. The book was received with approbation in this country, in America, and on the continent, where it was translated into German by an old Edinburgh friend, Dr. Becker of Berlin. A third edition appeared in 1839, corrected and greatly enlarged, and with the addition of plates; and a fourth edition in 1849, after his death, with his latest additions and corrections, but without the plates, and in a cheaper form. Hope's final conclusions about the sounds of the heart are on the whole justified by modern experiments, and adopted, with certain additions, by teachers in the existing physiological schools." (William Alexander Greenhill, 'Dictionary of National Biography', 1885-1900, vol. 27). Garrison-Morton, 2747: "Hope did much to advance the knowledge of heart murmurs, valvular disease, and aneurysm".
