Ink-staining to upper board, joints lightly rubbed, corners bumped. Very occasional spotting and light even toning to contents. A well-preserved copy. Rudolf Birchow (1821-1902) was a German physician celebrated as the 'Father of Modern Pathology'. He was the first to describe leukemia, chordoma, ochronosis, embolism, and thrombosis. This book describes Virchow's pioneering method of systematic autopsy, the first of its kind in the world. Virchow's method of dissecting each organ individually is still the standard practice world-wide. The second British edition of a significant work of pathology, by its first modern practitioner.
