Beschreibung

xxxiv, 1 leaf [blank], 390 pp, 1 leaf [blank], pp. [393]-418 [index]; viii, [9]-471 pp. Recent 1/4-leather and marbled boards. Margin of each title page browned due to exposure to former leather binding. Ink stamp of Harvard Medical School on verso of each title page. Signatures of two former owners on each title page. Very Good. First Edition. Garrison-Morton 1735. "The first authoritative book on the subject in the United States and one of the best in the English language. It was republished several times in England and translated into German and Swedish. With this publication, American medical jurisprudence became known and respected throughout the world" (Nemec, Highlights in Medicolegal Relations, 370). Norman 155. Heirs of Hippocrates 1472. As for the former owners of this set: The signatures (in each volume) are of O. L. Holley, and of Robert Troup Paine (1829-1851). Paine committed suicide in 1851. The Paine signature is followed by "to Harvard College". Did Paine write this signature and "to Harvard College" before his death or did someone else after his death? His father was Martyn Paine. Perhaps he is the one who wrote on each title page. O. L. Holley might be Orville Luther Holley (1791-1861), who wrote several books, including a Life of Benjamin Franklin.
