The Morbid Anatomy of Some of the Most Important Parts of the Human Body (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from The Morbid Anatomy of Some of the Most Important Parts of the Human Body For the last seven years I have been so much engaged in the practical duties of my profession, as only to have had occasional opportunities of inspecting dead bodies. I have, therefore, scarcely been able to make any additions to this work, but I have made such corrections of it, as more reflection and experience have suggested to me, and I hope it will be found to be considerably improved. The Second Edition of this Treatise was translated at Paris about three years ago by Dr. Ferrall into the French language. The translation is made with great fidelity; but as it is neither accompanied with notes, nor with the addition of any new cases, I have not been able to derive advantage from it in preparing this Third Edition for the press.

Medicine in Quotations


Book Description

Who was the first to write about a certain disease, diagnose it, and treat it? This book answers those questions for a wide range of diseases, from Abetalipoproteinemia to Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. What were the medical practitioners of previous generations hoping to achieve? What were their patients expecting of them? The answers are found in these quotations. Containing over 3,000 entries, and now updated with more than 450 new quotations, this new edition of ""Medicine in Quotations"" is the most comprehensive collection of its type published in over 30 years. It is much more than a random collection of famous sayings relating to sickness and health, disease and treatment; it is a portrait of medicine throughout recorded history. You will discover how medical concepts and practices have developed and shifted through the millennia, and how many illnesses recognized today were first identified a thousand or more years ago. Quotations are organized by topic, and each is fully referenced, allowing curious readers to return to the original source. Subject and author indices make it easy to find quotations of interest. ""Medicine in Quotations"" is an invaluable resource for writers, speakers, and all those interested in the history of medicine.

Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.
