anatomy descriptive and surgical, gray

Description du livre: London: John W. Parker and Son, 1858, 1858. Royal octavo. Original bead-grain brown cloth, neatly rebacked with original spine laid down, brick-red endpapers. Oatmeal cloth folding case. Cloth a little faded as usual, inner hinges reinforced, a very good copy. Paper book label "GOM" at corner of front pastedown. First edition of the medical text which has been more widely used by successive generations of medical students and doctors than any other. Publisher's presentation copy to Frederick Le Gros Clark, president of the Royal College of Surgeons, inscribed on the half-title: "F. Le Gros Clark, With the Publishers' Compts"; and below that, a later family presentation to his grandson, the distinguished anatomist and paleoanthropologist Sir Wilfrid Edward Le Gros Clark (1895–1971) from his uncle, dated 25 May 1913 (when the younger man was attending the medical school of St Thomas's Hospital). Not only an important book of reference, Gray's Anatomy has become a household phrase. "The success of the book was not due to an absence of rivals. There were already several texts on anatomy Gray's Anatomy, however, eclipsed all others, partly for its meticulous detail, partly for its emphasis on surgical anatomy, but most of all perhaps for the excellence of the illustrations, based on drawings by H. V. Carter, who assisted Gray with the dissections, and engraved by Messrs Butterworth and Heath with remarkable skill. The design of the book, and the skill with which the illustrations were interpolated in the text, could hardly have been improved" (ODNB). "This lasting and monumental work, produced by a young man who dies young, must be compared to the Fabrica of Vesalius, who produced his great work before the age of thirty years" (Heirs to Hippocrates).

Description du livre: John W. Parker and Son, London, 1858. FIRST EDITION. 8vo. xxxii, 750 pp., including half-title. With half-title and 363 text illustrations by Henry Vandyke Carter. Without the leaf of publisher's advertisements sometimes found in this copy. Contemporary half-calf and marbled boards, rebacked with the original spine laid down, boards show some wear; the text is lightly browned throughout, still generally an excellent copy from the library of Arthur W. Atwood, with his signature dated 1870; other signatures in memory of Arthur Lee Barlee and J. Tucker of Guy's (Hospital). First edition of probably the best-known medical book in the English language. "Gray's treatise was distinguished for the lucid and logical arrangement of a mass of detailed descriptions; clear new drawings based on dissections by the surgeon-author and the artist; and sections on the surgical anatomy of defined areas, such as the axilla, the elbow, the popliteal space, the perineum, and the laryngotracheal region" (Lilly Library, Notable Medical Books, 211).Gray (1827-61), a celebrated English physician, was chiefly engaged in anatomical research and teaching at St. George's Hospital in London. This work has become quite scarce in a first edition. N° de réf. du libraire 13043

Henry Gray (1827-1861) published his "Anatomy Descriptive and Surgical" in the United Kingdom in 1858, and in the United States in 1859. A revised, corrected, and enlarged 2nd edition occurred in 1860. Gray died of smallpox the following year. This 1860 edition is then the last edition in which Henry Gray was involved. In 1855 he approached his colleague Henry Vandyke Carter with his idea to produce an inexpensive and accessible anatomy textbook for medical students. Dissecting unclaimed bodies from workhouse and hospital mortuaries through the Anatomy Act of 1832, the two worked for 18 months on what would form the basis of the book. This work is profusely illustrated with 395 b/w in-text anatomical drawings by Henry Vandyke Carter. Age wear on binding with spine missing and heavy rubbing along edges. Covers soiled and rubbed. Title page creased and foxed. Minor age-toning along paper margin. Contemporary annotations and drawings in pencil throughout (easily erasable). Page 335/336 detached but present.
