Item description from seller

First edition in English, 12mo, pp. viii, [9]-265, [1]; 2 folding tables; likely original calf, rubbed, worn, and stained, but made sound by a recent rebacking; mild tidemark throughout, old library bookplate, two light rubberstamps; good copy. Jacques Lisfranc (1790-1847) was a "pioneering French surgeon and gynecologist who pioneered a number of operations including removal of the rectum, lithotomy in women, and amputation of the cervix uteri" (Wikipedia). John Davidson Goodman (1794-1830) published the second anatomical text by a native-born American, Anatomical Investigations, in 1824, and his Contributions to Physiological and Pathological Anatomy (1824-25) was the first work by an American surgeon to deal with pathological anatomy. Here, Goodman translates the work of the University of Turgin surgeon, Jacques Coster (1795-1868) adding his own notes. Coster presents the methods of the notable French orthopedic surgeon Lisfranc who served in Napoleon's army. Cordasco 20-0157.
