Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. 8vo, 3/4 morocco, a little edge worn and rubbed, upper cover detached, [vi], 464pp. A few leave only slightly browned or foxed, but generally, the text block is clean. Apparently an incomplete book, lacking title page or printed wrappers to articulate the usual dating and volume data. The actual full title: THE SCALPEL: A JOURNAL OF HEALTH, ADAPTED TO POPULAR AND PROFESSIONAL READING, AND THE EXPOSURE OF QUACKERY, and the present portion comprises Vol. I, No. 1 and whatever follows up to page 464. Ultimately, Dixon produced twelve volumes, for the full serial run, up to 1861. At any rate, the content here is rich, the book is uncommonly found, and the price is right.

New Edition. 8vo, pp. v, [1], [xiii]-xvi, [9]-407, [ 7] ads; original brown cloth, spine lettered and decorated in black; paper browned, otherwise very good.

Photographic portrait of the author tipped as frontispiece. The title is somewhat of a misnomer: "photographs" in this instance meaning a collection of pieces from the mid-19th century magazine "The Scalpel" illustrative of the American medical profession . The group was from a series published in the 1850s titled "Scenes in the Practice of a New York Surgeon"; additionaal pieces include"Abortionism", "Small Pox: Inoculation--Vaccination--What Are They?" , "Scenes In A Mediacl Student's Life", "A Vision of The Damned--What Becomes of Doctors and Apothecaries When They Die?", "Early Treatment of Children", "Fashionable Dress: Its Influence on the Health and Dignity of Woman" and many other facsinating glimpses. A tight example, 1867 ownership inscription on first blanl; pages somewhat embrowned and with some light spotting to the cloth and narrow loss along the upper rear gutter. Quite scarce.
