About this Item
Reprint of the scarce 1803 work by Percival, with contextualizing introductory & supplemental material, including the Code of Ethics and Principles of Medical Ethics of the AMA and two versions of the Hippocratic Oath. Percival's work was mostly intended to apply to interactions between medical professionals rather than doctor & patient, but it was revolutionary in its effect on the medical community as the first publication to address questions of morality in medical practice; Leake's introduction discusses this difference between medical etiquette & medical ethics. Hardcover, as pictured. Light wear, minor stain to front cover, corners bumped; no jacket. Text clean; b/w frontispiece, xi, [3], 291 pages + 4 page 'credits' section, commenting on the publisher's craft & listing the actual staff involved in producing the book! Size: Duodecimo.
