Very rare dissertation on foetuses and newborn infants presented for the degree of Bachelor of Medicine at the university of Besançon by François-Jacques Hoin (1748–1806) of Dijon.
In his discussion of the physiology, respiration, and legal status of babies pre- and post-birth, Hoin quotes from the work of his father Jean-Jacques-Louis Hoin (1722–1772), specifically from his Mémoire sur la vitalité des enfans (1765).
Hoin’s Dissertatio was printed by Jean-Mathieu Couché (1708–1782) who served as printer to both the bishop and the university of Besançon.
No copies traced in the UK. Only 1 copy recorded in the US (National Library of Medicine).
