Second edition. "Without question one of the most beautifully illustrated anatomical and surgical treatises ever published in any language . . .

Four volumes of the set are devoted to surgical anatomy and cover in detail nearly all the major operations that were performed during the first half of the nineteenth century"--Heirs of Hippocrates 1569 (1831-54 original edition).
