Dental Histo-Pathology AND Oral Surgery [Student's Manuscript Notebook on Dentistry]

American, early 1900s. Hardcover. Very Good+. A pretty standard "Composition Book," from Williams, Brown & Earle, Inc., Scientific Instruments, of Philadelphia. Marbled paper over boards (20 cm x. 25.5 cm), cloth backstrip, handwritten paper label on upper board; approx. 200 lined pages, about 2/3 of which are full of handwritten notes and illustrations; nice card slipped into a sleeve on the inside front board, from Bausch & Lomb Optical Company, illustrating the mechanical features of the microscope of one side side, and the path of light rays on the other. Begins with 34 exceptionally detailed (framed in a circle, as though viewed through a microscope) drawings of different views of teeth and gums, in varying states of health or decay, including: Tooth Development 70-75th Intra Uterine Life, Nasmyth's Membrane, Longitudinal Section of Tooth Crown Showing Histological Features of Enamel, Hypoplasia of Enamel, Abnormal Enamel, and more. Followed by extensive handwritten notes under the heading (presumably the course title) "Oral Surgery, Dr. Cameron," and listing Earl Padgett's "Surgical Diseases of Mouth and Palate" as the text. A nice volume. Handwriting and illustrations are nice and legible throughout, in blue or black ink. Instructor's discreet stamp reading "APPROVED F.J." here and there. Boards a bit rubbed along the edges; and pages a bit age-toned.
