Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Full blind stamped panelled calf, G+. [xii]+viii+[iv]+240+8pp, ( Dedication [ to Sir Hans Sloane ], preface, contents, The History, Postscript ). Occasional foxing & a little yellowing of the paper with the occasional creased corner & ink splash, upper board detached with the leather a little rubbd along the edges & worn to the head & tail of the spine, Old ownership signature to the title with relating offsetting to the blank opposite, Ex Library [ Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland ] with two ink stamps, a nice copy, in need of some restoration. Reissue ( containing an 8 page postscript ) of a detailed work on the treatment of various Abdominal Hernias ( or ruptures ) by the Glasgow Surgeon Robert Houstoun [ 1678 - 1734 ]. In 1701 he had removed a large growth or cyst from a 58 year old patient & thus performed the first ovariotomy, and in so doing achieved lasting fame.

The Postcript at the end rejects the claims of a Dr Littlejohn with regard the 'Secret' cure - Littlejohn had approached the Admiralty & passed off Bowles' cure as his own. She responded with a short work of her own [ 1726 ] and Houstoun here asks readers to decide who was the true inventor of the cure. 300 grams.…
