Item description from seller

x, 623 pp; 163 figs. Original cloth. Ghost of bookplate on front pastedown (the bookplate is now loose, but present, and was that of J. Jay Keegan, who presented this copy to Alister I. Finlayson). Near Fine, in torn dust jacket (NOTE: see photo for piece missing from back portion of the dust jacket). First Edition. Garrison-Morton 4910.1: "Penfield's most widely recognized contribution was the gradual development of cortical excision as an accepted and valuable method of treating medically refractory focal epilepsy." Copy of Alister Finlayson with this gift inscription from J. Jay Keegan on the front flyleaf: "To Alister I. Finlayson,/ With best regards,/ J. Jay Keegan." Dr. Alister Ian Finlayson (1914-1991), a neurosurgeon, was a 1937 graduate of the University of Nebraska College of Medicine. From 1941-1945 he served in the medical corps of the U.S. Army. He served on the staffs of Methodist, Clarkson and Immanuel Hospitals over a 50-year period and taught classes at the N. U. Medical Center. Jay Keegan (1889-1978) was a neurosurgeon at the University of Nebraska College of Medicine and a teacher of Alister Finlayson. "Dr. J. Jay Keegan was a pioneer--a pioneer surgeon, researcher, teacher and administrator whose contributions were vital to the development of the field of neurosurgery and to the University of Nebraska College of Medicine. The 1915 graduate of the College established Omaha's first neurosurgery practice, studied the brain of the Plains Indian and gained national recognition for his studies of the 1918 influenza epidemic. In 1920, after a tour of duty in World War I, Dr. Keegan returned to Omaha, where he established his new practice and joined the faculty of the College of Medicine. He was named the Dean of the College in 1925, but his increasingly demanding practice forced him to leave that post four years later. He remained active in the College, serving as voluntary Chairman of the Department of Surgery from 1933 to 1948. He retired in 1961. The College of Medicine inaugurated the J. Jay Keegan Memorial Lecture Series in 1981. Annually, a distinguished neurosurgeon is invited to be the guest speaker of this lecture series." After his service in WWI, Keegan served a one year internship with Harvey Cushing at the Brigham Hospital in Boston before returning to Nebraska.
