Beschreibung

____Volume three only of an eventual five volume set issued over the course of many years. _____ Baron Larrey served as surgeon-in-chief in Napoleon's army from 1797 through Waterloo. _____ Perhaps one of the most important military doctors in history, he instituted many important improvements in the medical corps such as the army ambulance corps._____ He also provided the earliest descriptions of trench-foot and the use of maggots on wounds as therapy._____ In addition he pioneered many surgical battlefield procedures, including some of the first amputations at the hip joint. _____ This is from the era when books were issued in simple paper covers with all edges untrimmed._____The assumption being that any gentleman worth his salt would have a bookbinder in mind to transfer the sheets into a more durable format, perhaps to match other volumes in his collection. _____ This copy retains the original publisher's paper covers._____Absolutely unread, with all the signatures unopened. _____ Ex-university library (non-circulating), with their antique bookplate, spine label and embossments. _____ The front cover is free, the rear understandably tenuous._____.
