WITH NUMEROUS NOTES AND ADDITIONS, EMBRACING ALL THE PRINCIPAL IMPROVEMENTS AND GREATER OPERATIONS INTRODUCED AND PERFORMED BY AMERICAN SURGEONS, TOGETHER WITH A SUPPLEMENTARY INDEX, IN WHICH THE SCIENCE OF SURGERY IS BROUGHT DOWN TO THE PRESENT PERIOD, INCLUDING ALL THE RECENT IMPROVEMENTS IN EUROPE AND AMERICA. BY DAVID MEREDITH REESE . . . Secondary title page for appendix section: SUPPLEMENTARY APPENDIX TO THE SURGICAL DICTIONARY OF SAMUEL COOPER, EMBRACING ALL THE VALUABLE IMPROVEMENTS OF THE SEVENTH AND LATEST EDITION OF THE AUTHOR, PUBLISHED IN 1838, TOGETHER WITH ALL THE RECENT IMPROVEMENTS IN EUROPE SINCE THAT DATE, AND A RECORD OF THE MERITORIOUS OPERATIONS PERFORMED BY AMERICAN SURGEONS IN VARIOUS PARTS OF THE UNITED STATES; THUS BRINING THE SCIENCE DOWN TO THE PRESENT TIME. BY DAVID MEREDITH REESE . . . [New-York: published by Harper & Brothers, No. 82 Cliff Street, 1842]. Paged as: i-viii, 9-478, [2], 1-506, i-viii, 9-170. Hardcover: H 23.25cm x L 15cm. Original full leather binding; boards scuffed and rubbed with worn corners, 1.5cm x 3cm patch of surface peeling to leather at front board's bottom right with several smaller patches of surface peeling to rear board as well, discreet gilt decoration along board edges all gone on bottom but still discernable along board fore-edges and top edges despite slender leather scuffing/losses. Spine leather brittle and dry with surface crinkling lengthwise and scuffing along joints, spine heel worn fairly even with text block's bottom edge with additional chipping at bottoms of both joints, 7cm splitting along lower front joint, flaking to spine's horizontal gilt stamped bars but all still fairly bright save for loss to one at heel per aforementioned damage, chipping to maroon title label with bright gilt lettering of "Cooper's | Dictionary" having loss to "E" in Cooper and all of "Y" with nicked "R" in Dictionary. Strong fading to marbled text block edges with some staining and soiling. Personal library bookplate of S.F. Hill (Civil War-era Carrollton, Alabama surgeon Dr. Samuel F. Hill) dated 1860 on front pastedown. Hill's ink signature at front flyleaf's top right corner and elaborate pencil inscription dated 1950 on pulled second front flyleaf. Top spine corner torn out (with seven lines of text loss) of pages 421-422; only stubs and jagged remnants of pages 423-478 with only stubs of intermediary blank and succeeding pages 1-4. Bottom halves of both rear flyleaves torn out with only stub of rear free endpaper still present. Varied foxing, soiling, and staining to leaves throughout. Double-column text throughout save for title pages and Prefaces. Binding is still firm. A Hill family history asserts that Dr. Samuel Felto Hill (1813-1895) was a Confederate Army surgeon but cursory research disproves that claim. It is possible that Hill temporarily participated with a militia unit but the most plausible scenario is that he simply treated ill and injured soldiers as Carrollton was in proximity to Alabama civil war activity in Tuscaloosa and Greensboro as well as being reasonably close to the hospital town of Columbus, Mississippi where thousands of Union and Confederate wounded were transported after the Battle of Shiloh. Please note that this thick book has an approximate shipping weight of 4 pounds (1.81 kg) and may require additional postage for any postal class other than domestic Media Mail. {Medicine-Shelf#1}.
