Traité des maladies de plomb ou saturnines. 2 vols.

Paris: Ferra, 1839.

Classical description of the diseases found among lead workers. Reporting on 1200 cases of lead poisoning, Tanquerel’s studies were so complete that later studies added little to knowledge of the symptoms and signs of the disease. Translated into English by Samuel L. Dana as Lead diseases: A treatise from the French of L. Tanquerel des Planches with notes and additions on the use of lead pipe and its substitutes. Lowell, Mass.: Daniel Bixby and Company, 1848. Digital facsimile of the English translation from the Internet Archive at this link.
