A nice edition of this work. Two volumes bound as one. Volume one is a fourth edition. Volume two is a second edition. Original half tan leather with marbled boards. The boards and leather are a little rubbed, and appear to have had some restoration. Burgundy leather label with gilt titles. A little rubbing to the titles. Inside, the work bears the bookplate of Edward William Harcourt (1825-1891), Conservative Member of Parliament, naturalist and author of several books. Some foxing to the end papers. The rest of the book is clean and tidy throughout. The two volumes contain fresh prefaces and errata, and an appendix of 56 pages which deals with issues in admitting fever patients to hospitals. Currie was the first doctor to use cold water in the treatment of fever. He favoured using sea water and showered patients with colder and colder water in an attempt to subdue fever. Incidentally, he also edited the first edition of Robert Burns poems and was a biographer of him. xx, [iv], 380, x,. vi, 284, 56, viii. pages. 220 by 140mm (8Ÿ by 5œ inches). .
