Garrison-Morton 1764 (citing the 1803 edition): "The British and American medical professions have adopted much of 'Percival' in their ethical codes." "When the American Medical Association adopted its first code of ethics in 1847, many of its precepts were drawn from this book. Even today, after undergoing several revisions, the American Medical Association guidelines of ethical conduct for the physician are still based on those formulated by Percival. . . . The first half of the volume is devoted to the ethical principles which physicians and surgeons should exercise in their dealings with hospitals, with one another, with apothecaries, and in those cases where familiarity with the law is required. The second half of the book consists of an appendix containing a sermon on hospital duties addressed to the Liverpool Infirmary in 1791 by Percival's eldest son as well as a series of notes by Thomas Percival that enlarge upon the textual footnotes" (Heirs of Hippocrates 1037).
