About This Item
Vol 128 of the Memoirs. First edition.
Moderate tanning of spine and slight tanning mark on front cover, very small imperfection on head of spine; otherwise unmarked, undamaged, and virtually as new, apparently never been opened.
Prof. Jones's introduction and notes provide excellent context to this fascinating series of letters from pioneering American physician Jonathan Warren, probably the first to administer anesthetic during pediatric surgery and a leader in reconstructive surgery techniques. He studied in Paris with the leading medical practitioners of the day, and his letters provide valuable information on the state of medicine at the time and on the development of American medicine in the years leading up to the American Civil War.
