2.    /COOPER, Sir Astley, F.R.S. [A New Edition, Much Enlarged. Edited 
by Bransby B. Cooper, F.R.S., Surgeon to Guy's Hospital]. *A TREATISE ON 
DISLOCATIONS AND FRACTURES OF THE JOINTS*/. Bound in publisher's

Small piece excised from top of spine; wear to bd. edges; hinges tender, 
some foxing & age-toning to conts.; else good condition. Cooper 
(1768-1841) was the most popular surgeon in London during the Regency, 
and wrote prolificly on a wide range of medical topics. He became a 
surgeon at Guy's Hospital in 1800, and was a pioneer of the surgery of 
the vascular system. In 1817 he made medical history by ligating the 
abdominal aorta. There is an excellent write-up of Cooper in Garrison's 
/History of Medicine/. This title was first published in 1822, and went 
through five editions, until 1842, when Cooper's nephew (the editor of 
this edition) undertook a posthumous revision, to which he added a life 
of his uncle, and which
was published in London. This edition is the first American edition, the 
principal differences between the British and American editions being 
that the former was quarto in size with copper-plate engravings; the 
latter being octavo with wood-cuts. Otherwise,the text is the same, 
although observations by John C. Warren, M.D., Professor of Anatomy and 
Surgery at Harvard University, have been added, and will not be found in 
the British edition. (See G&M 4412.1.) (032581) $150.00.

3.    /DUPUYTREN, Baron Guillaume [Translated and Edited by F. Le Gros

in original green cloth blocked in blind & stamped in gilt. The Sydenham 
Society, London. 1847. 1st edition. 8vo, pp. xx, 459. Translated 
especially for the Sydenham Society. Dupuytren (1777-1835) was born into 
poverty and died a rich man. Garrison, in his /History of Medicine/, 
describes him as the "ablest and best trained French surgeon of his 
time". He was a "shrewd diagnostician, an operator of unrivalled aplomb, 
a wonderful clinical teacher, and a good experimental physiologist and 
pathologist." "He had an immense practice, about 10,000 patients 
annually outside his hospital work." (see also G&M 5590). Dupuytren's 
writings were first translated into English from his French lesson 
notes, which were "scattered through the first two volumes of [Prof. 
Dupuytren's] 'Lecons Orales', without any regard to appropriate 
collocation". A biographical sketch of the author has been prefixed to 
this, the first edition. (032582) $400.00
