Text lightly washed. Very good. "This translation of Volume I of Larrey's Clinique chirurgicale (Paris, 1829-1836) was made by Edward Florens Rivinus (1802-1872). Even though Rivinus only translated the first of Larrey's multi-volume work, he commented in the Preface that 'The great importance of the subject, which is far from being exhausted, the originality of the author's views of the pathology and treatment of several leading surgical diseases of the head, will insure it a respectful consideration' (p. iv)." Heirs of Hippocrates No. 1214. See Garrison-Morton 5589.1 (citing 1st French ed., in 5 vols., 1829-36); Wellcome III, p. 452.
