Description:
TEXT : pp. xvi, 697, (i); (iv), (699)-1267. Errata slip; ATLAS - pp. (xvi) Plates. 70 lithographed plates as called for [some double-page, many bis plates, no.XXVI is not listed and thus not included]. In contemporary half calf and marbled boards, occasional heavy spotting of the plates and a small dent in the lower corner of the last few, but overall a very good set.

This set has the appearance of having been bound from the parts, the plates being then separately bound into an extra volume. All title-pages dated for 1836. See also GARRISON-MORTON #6273 - Davis was the first to state that phlegmasia alba dolens was due to inflammation of the veins. He was physician-accoucheur at the birth of Queen Victoria.
