About this Item

Springfield, Charles C. Thomas, 1938, 8°, XIV, 785 pp., 1 Taf., 685 Abbildungen, 5 Tab., orig. Leinenband. First Eidition of Cushing greatest clinical monograph! "The present treatise was commenced in 1915 soon after the completion of his volume on the pituitary disorders, and it therefore represents nearly twenty-five years of work; by common consent it is regarded as Dr. Cushing's greatest clinical monograph. It is the embodiment of all the things he has stood for during his career as a clinician: his painstaking case records and photographs, his unusual artistic ability evident in his own numerous operative sketches, and his extraordinary knowledge of the day to day life of his patients." (Harvey Cushing Society, A bibliography of Harvey Cushing. Springfield, 1939. p.18). Dr. Louise Eisenhardt (1891-1966), "nurse, physician, brilliant neuropathologist, and devoted friend and colleague to Dr. Cushing, collaborated in the publication of the work, and her microphotographs easily support the classification used in this most exhaustive work on the subject of intracranial meningiomas." Heirs of Hippocrates, 1166; Garrison & Morton No.4612 + 4901.01; Courville No. 520; Waller 2253; Walker No.519; HC 24.
