New York: Classics of Medicine Library, 1995. Special Limited Edition. Hardcover. As New. Yet another fine contribution to the series, The Classics of Pediatrics Library - Gryphon Editions, published in Birmingham, Alabama and New York, and handsomely produced up to their usual high standards, taking classics from medicine and society, from laboratory and surgical clinics, from the Ancient Greeks and Egyptians to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, printing in facsimile, and typically also with scholarly edifice, including full bibliography, index, notes and illustrations where first published, sometimes also with scholarly commentary on the provenance and meaning of the original manuscript. This is the first textbook on pediatrics ever published in the United States. Sterling condition hardcover copy bound in rich brown leather and with raised bands and gilt lettering and illustrations, with unbruised tips, tight binding, and clean internals, showing only very slight shelf- and edge-wear; not ex-library, with neither underlining nor highlighting anywhere. Volume contains scholarly apparatus in the form of, e.g., notes, index, and bibliography. 496 pp., and with gilt edging all around.
