This is the First Edition of the American abridgment of Bell's 6-volume System of Surgery (1782 -87) in which Bell, amongst many other advances such as developments in vascular surgery, advocated the routine use of opium to relieve post-operative pain, "to be able to alleviate the misery of those who are obliged to submit to dangerous operations must afford the biggest gratification to every practitioner". In his preface, the editor, Waters, credits the famous New York surgeon John Jones with reviewing the manuscript and with adding footnotes, which appear throughout. Jones was the author of the first surgical text by an American.
