About This Item
Philadelphia: Key, Mielke & Biddle, 1832. First American edition, 8vo, pp. viii, 332; 2 engraved plates; later blue cloth, red leather spine label stamped in gilt; light water damage at the inner and outer margins of several leaves, including the plates; a good copy. Garrison-Morton 2160: "Larrey was the greatest military surgeon in history." Heirs of Hippocrates, 1214: "This translation of Volume I of Larrey's Clinique chirurgicale was made by Edward Florens Rivinus (1802-1872). Even though Rivinus only translated the first of Larreys' multi-volume work, he commented in the Preface that "The great importance of the subject, which is far from being exhausted, the originality of the author's views of the pathology and treatment of several leading surgical diseases of the head, will insure it a respectful consideration."
