Item description from seller

Trans. by Shimamura Teiho ???? Four full-page illus. of surgical instruments. 38.5; 67.5 folding leaves. Two vols. 8vo, orig. semi-stiff patterned wrappers, orig. printed title-slips on upper covers, new stitching. Edo: Suharaya Ihachi ?????, 1866. First edition in Japanese of this translation of the tenth chapter, on wounds and contusions, from Gross’s highly important A System of Surgery (1st ed.: Philadelphia: 1859). Our edition was translated from the 1863 edition in Dutch. This was the first translation of any of Gross’s writings into Japanese; many of his books were fully translated later, in the 1870s. Fine set and rare. We find no copy outside of Japan. ? Mestler, III, p. 157–"The professional writings of the American surgeon, Samuel D. Gross, attracted wide attention in Japan during the early years of the Meiji period.".
