About this Item

The original dust jacket houses this book. It states to the front cover: In a long review "The Medical Press" said: "To break down the barriers of legally - entrenched orthodoxy and attain to wealth and titular distiction while still young enough to enjoy his success, is in any field a remarkable performance; in the field of medicine it is almost miraculous. Disraeli's conquest of the proudest aristocracy in Europe almost pales in comparison. . . Sir Herbert Barker has accomplished a social tour de force, and his very restrained account of it all is a valuable contribution to a certain side of the history of his time." There is a 2 inch chip to the rear top of the dustjacket. Few small chips to the extremities in general. Repaired to rearside. Now housed in a removable archival sleeve. Red cloth boards, with faded colour in general. Firmly bound to inner page block. There are sixteen full page illustrations and these are all present. Light browning to pages, otherwise all pages are clean and tightly bound. - Our orders are shipped within 1 or 2 business days. - Thanks for your interest.
