Naturally, he was aware of Fielding Garrison's Texts Illustrating the History of Medicine in the Library of the Surgeon General's Office (1912, revised 1933). Morton recognized its shortcomings and determined to remedy them, by compiling an augmented and annotated revision. He began the project in 1938 and completed it during the dark days of World War II. In 1943, it appeared as A Medical Bibliography: An Annotated Check-list of Texts Illustrating the History of Medicine (Garrison and Morton).

The check-list went through [five printed] editions (with additional printings) . . ." - Shane Godbolt & T. Mark Hodges, "Leslie T.
