A Code of Medical Ethics: With General and Special Rules for the Guidance of the Faculty and the Public in the Complex Relations of Professional Life

(London: H. K. Lewis, 1895). 8vo; original blue cloth, blocked in blind, with gilt device to upper cover; all edges gilt; pp. 103 + (iii). Cloth somewhat rubbed; backstrip sunned, and frayed at head; binding slack and hinges starting; earlier owner's name pencilled on title page; foxed throughout, quite severely so in places. "Apart from all specific instructions, there are noticeable in the book a high sense of justice, an element of dignity and self-respect, and a general sentiment of affection for all that is best in medical life and character, which combine to make it excellent reading. There is something stately and old-fashioned in the diction which well suits the subject, and adds to rather than detracts from the impressiveness and authority of the text. It is a book to be treasured for its own sake, and there is no one who will not feel strengthened by reading it, or, who having read it, will not put it in a handy place on his book-shelf for frequent reference, and who will not always turn to it with a sense of refreshment and help. It well deserves the authority which it has earned for itself by its purely intrinsic merits." - British Medical Journal. .
