About This Item
London: John Churchill, 1858., 1858. First printing. 8vo. Frontispiece map. xii, 439 pp. Illustrated with tables. Original brown cloth binding. Apparently the first publication of the surgical results of the Crimean War, apart from Macleods own reports in the Edinburgh Med. J. written from camp. Very interesting book on military medicine. Topics include use of chloroform, gunshot wounds of joints, compound fractures of extremities, nursing, camp hygiene, amputation, etc. The Crimean War (1853-1856) was in some ways a medical & technological rehearsal for the US Civil War. Inscription on title page: "Sig. Ghirini from his grateful patient Wm Kitching 1859." Some light spinal wear/sunning else a tight very good plus book. Uncommon thus.. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good.
