First Edition
Pamphlet. Condition: Good. 1st. Removed, stitched into a new acid-free wrapper, 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, 24 pp., good condition. Ink name stamp of an historical society on the first page of text. A lecture in which the question is asked, What is the study of medicine? Dr. Mitchell conveys a thorough answer. Not a dull lecturer, he gives examples from his experience as a professor as illustrations of his points. "Thomas Duché Mitchell was born in Philadelphia in 1791. He was educated in Quaker schools and apprenticed in the pharmacy of Adam Seybert, M.D. He studied medicine under Dr. Parrish and entered the Medical Department of the University of Pennsylvania, from which he received his M.D. in 1812. His thesis topic was acidification and combustion. Mitchell established private practice in Philadelphia, where he held the position of Physician to the Lazaretto (1813-1816). He later moved his practice just outside of Philadelphia, to Frankford (1822-1831). A clear impressive lecturer, Mitchell held many academic posts in Philadelphia and the mid-west. He was appointed Professor of Animal and Vegetable Physiology at St. Johns Lutheran College, Philadelphia (1812) before holding successive professorships of chemistry at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio (1831), the Medical College of Ohio (1832), the Medical Institute, Louisville, Ky. (1837) and Transylvania University, Lexington, Ky. (1837-1839). He later held the position of Professor of Materia Medica and Therapeutics at Transylvania University (1839-1849). In 1849 he returned to Philadelphia to become the Professor of Medicine, Obstetrics, and Medical Jurisprudence at the Medical College of Philadelphia (1849-1857). He left this position to become Professor of Materia Medica at Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia (1857-1865)." - collegeofphysicians website.

Philadelphia: T.K. and P.G. Collins, Printers, 1852. 16pp. Pamphlet. Removed. Lacking wrappers; minor foxing; very good. Graduation address or valedictory given by Dr. Thomas D. Mitchell, Professor of the Theory and Practice of Medicine at the Philadelphia College of Medicine: "But the most important item at which I have hinted, as related to the true dignity of the profession, is the reception and instruction of office pupils. Every village and rural district has its young men who aspire to Esculapian honors, and hence the certainty of applications to you, in this behalf. Let me express my deep, abiding conviction, that you can do more to elevate the profession, just at this point, than by all other expedients combined. (p9)" "The Philadelphia College of Medicine had its origins in the Philadelphia School of Anatomy, which was established by James McClintock in 1838. In 1847 McClintock obtained a charter from the Pennsylvania Legislature to establish the Philadelphia College of Medicine. The five story building contained two lecture rooms, an anatomical theater, a museum, a dissecting room, classrooms, and rooms for professors." Thomas Duché Mitchell (1791-1865), medical author and editor graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1812. He taught physiology at St. John's Lutheran College and, in 1831 organized and taught in the medical department of Miami University in Ohio. In 1835 he was professor of materia medica at Transylvania University, where he remained until becoming chair of the practice of medicine at Philadelphia College of Medicine. In 1857 he became professor of materia medica at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia. Mitchell was the author of Medical Chemistry (1819), Elements of Chemical Philosophy (1832), and Materia Medica and Therapeutics (1850). He co-edited the Western Medical Gazette and edited the Journal of Medical and Associate Sciences.
