A propos de cet article

1 leaf [title page], v, 1 leaf [half-title], 100 pp; 4 pp of publisher's ads for Warren's book "Physical Education and the Preservation of Health". Original cloth. Near Fine. First Edition. INSCRIBED TO WINSLOW LEWIS: "Dr. Winslow Lewis/ with the best regards of/ the Author." I believe this inscription is in a secretarial hand, and not written by John Collins Warren. However, it is still a presentation copy. "As director of the Massachusetts General Hospital, Warren allowed William Thomas Green Morton to perform his celebrated demonstration on the use of ether in surgery. Warren performed the operation (a surgical excision) while Morton served as anesthetist. Warren's support of the new development was in large part responsible for its subsequent worldwide acceptance. In this fascinating booklet, Warren gives a firsthand description of the early use of ether in surgery, including a detailed account of the famous operation mentioned above" (Heirs of Hippocrates 1345). Garrison-Morton (online) 11727: "Warren performed the first surgical operation under anesthesia at Massachusetts General Hospital on October 16, 1846. This work presents his experience with anesthesia in the year following." Norman 2186 (the Haskell Norman copy was not a presentation copy). Rutkow, The History of Surgery in the United States. 1775-1900, Vol I., GS26. Fulton & Stanton, The Centennial of Surgical Anesthesia VII.156. ABOUT THE RECIPIENT WINSLOW LEWIS: "He graduated at Harvard College, 1819. Studied medicine under John C. Warren M.D.; took his degree in 1822; went to Europe soon after; attended the lectures of Dupuytren in Paris and Abernethy in London. Upon his return, began practice in Boston. He was for several years physician to the city institutions, and consulting physician of the Massachusetts General Hospital. His tastes, when a young man, led him to the study of Comparative Anatomy, in which his attainments were remarkable. Many of the preparations used by the senior Dr. Warren in his lectures were the work of his hands, and we have been informed that some of the best specimens in the Cabinet of the Boston Society of Natural History were prepared by him. His skill as a surgeon and a physician was well known, and his benevolence title page those in humble circumstances was proverbial" (American Journal of Numismatics, and Bulletin of the American Numismatic and Archaeological Society, Vol. 10, No. 2 October 1875, pp. 45-46). …
