[MEDICINE] AN INTRODUCTION TO THE HISTORY OF MEDICINE. WITH MEDICAL CHRONOLOGY, BIBLIOGRAPHIC DATA AND TEST QUESTIONS.
W. B. Saunders: Philadelphia and London, 1913.
Hard Cover. First Edition. Large 8vo.; in the publisher’s blue cloth binding, with a small stain to the front endpaper; 763 pages, including the Index; there are no ownership marks of any kind in the book.~~An important book in the field, to say the least: “One of the best single-volume history of medicine from the bibliographical point of view, mainly for 19th century and earlier material. A rather compressed work with much detail; this is really more of a reference work than something to read from cover to cover. Garrison had a special gift for distilling the complex lifetime achievements of great physicians into a few paragraphs. In his time he was the leading American authority on the subject...” (Garrison Morton 6408).
Very Good binding.
