Synopsis

This book, like many other medical dictionaries and encyclopedias of its time, aimed to provide medical students and practicing physicians with a quick reference point for medical terminology. The author has tried to present information in an accessible manner with easy-to-understand definitions and explanations, including pronunciation guides for some of the more unfamiliar terms. Definitions were kept brief and to the point while still providing all information necessary to comprehend the term's meaning. The inclusion of French and Latin synonyms for many of the terms would have been particularly helpful for readers at the time, as knowledge of these languages was more common among medical professionals then.
