Item description from seller

6mo, 299, [5], 71, [5], 32, [4], 92, [4], 80, [4], 72 pages. In Very Good minus condition. Bound in full brown leather with two light brown labels to spine bearing gilt titling. Spine has gilt fillets, moderate wear to leather throughout, a chip to head, and light splitting to top of rear joint. Boards have significant wear to edges exposing the boards in some areas, heavy bumping to lower fore corners, an area of heavy peeling to the leather around the fore edge of the rear board, and rubbing throughout. Text block has decorative speckling and moderate age-toning to edges, age-toning and foxing to endpapers, creases to corners of a few leaves, slight mis-trimming to bottom edges of the first two leaves of "The Surgeon's Practical Guide in Dressing", a spot of material transference from one leaf to another on the edge of the last page (likely due to an area of adhesive being pulled apart), light foxing throughout, and light penciling throughout. Shelved in Room A octavo overflow. Part of the "Select Medical Library" series by a publisher in Philadelphia, this book is an example of a trend in the 1830s and -40s where American publishers frequently printed European medical texts in monthly installments and then offered them bound together into annual volumes for doctors and medical students. Before international copyright laws and fast transatlantic shipping were established, these American reprints helped local physicians stay up-to-date at an affordable cost. 1415471.
