A System Of Anatomy And Physiology With The Comparative Anatomy Of Animals, Compiled From The Latest And Best Authors And Arranged As Nearly As The Work Would Admit In The Order Of The Lectures Delivered In The University Of Edinburgh.; Edinburgh, printed for William Creech and sold in London by G. G. and J. J. Robinson, 1791.  3 volumes, 8vo. A very battered and damaged set of 3 books, but a most valuable and  interesting record of early medical research and writing. Vol I 506pp, Vol II 471 pp, Vol II 467. All but a couple of the original 20 engravings have been torn out, in some cases so carelessly that they have taken the adjacent text page with them as well. The covers have severely bumped and frayed corners. There is some foxing  and staining throughout but not too severe. Although there is some pulling at the internal hinges and endpapers the book blocks are tight. Top edges trimmed, other edges untrimmed. The text is clear and contains great detail of the medical lectures in anatomy  at the time. In first instance please contact Collecting House on www.collectinghouse.co.uk  for more details and any images required.

A Doctor Digresses ; WALKER, KENNETH : London: Jonathan Cape, 1950 First Edition. Hard Cover, no dj. Very Good book, blue cloth, internally tight and clean. The author uses his medical knowledge as a departure point for thought. He looks at man and the universe through the eyes of a doctor, and follows various lines of thought until they are lost in the misty reaction of metaphysics. Explores such subjects as health, physical and mental illnesses, consciousness and the mind-body relationship, and by this means to reach certain conclusions on a number of greater issues.
