    Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Original cloth. Very Good. This copy does NOT have any library markings. First Edition. "One of the greatest contributors to the development of neuroradiology was the neurosurgeon Leo M. Davidoff. . . . He was a surgical resident at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in 1924, and began his neurosurgical training there the following year. 'Davey' was one of Cushing's favorite disciples, and he is considered among the most skilled. After a period of study abroad, Davidoff joined the staff at The Neurological Institute of New York in 1927. He soon befriended and collaborated with Cornelius Dyke, a radiologist who had been trained by Sosman. Sparked by Dyke's interest in neuroradiology, Davidoff became a superb neuroradiologist. Their monograph, The Normal Encephalogram, published in 1937, remains a classic publication in the field of neuroradiology. The follow-up monograph, The Abnormal Pneumoencephalogram, was published in 1950 with Bernard Epstein after Dr. Dyke's untimely death. These two classic publications changed the face of neuroradiological interpretation and education in this country. . . (Dean J. Gobo, in Greenblatt, History of Neurosurgery, pp. 231-32).

    Hardcover. Condition: Good. 224 pp; 149 figs. Original cloth. MUSTY ODOR. This copy does NOT have the date 1937 printed on the title page under the Lea & Febiger imprint, which means it is a later printing of the first edition. SIGNED BY CORNELIUS G. DYKE: "Presented to Dr. M. C. Sosman/ as a 'replacement' for an-/ other copy that 'wandered'./ Cornelius G. Dyke/ Oct. 10, 1940." ALSO SIGNED BY LEO M. DAVIDOFF. Sosman has written: "Please return to/ Dr. M. C. Sosman/ 24 Le Road/ Chestnut Hill, 67,/ Mass." "In 1922 Merrill Sosman joined the staff at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital. He would later serve as the Chief of Radiology at that institution for 34 years. Sosman had the tremendous good fortune of working with Cushing when the master was at the peak of his career. Sosman, in turn, imparted a stimulus and encouragement for the investigation and publication of the tremendous wealth of clinical cases that were being seen at the Brigham at the time. In the 10 years of their association, until Cushing's retirement, 31 papers on the subject of neuroradiology were produced. . . . The dissemination of this scientific information did a great deal to advance the identity of neuroradiology. When The Harvey Cushing Society was founded in 1931, Sosman was one of only two radiologists admitted as founding members. . ." (Dean J. Gobo, in Greenblatt (ed.), A History of Neurosurgery, pp. 227-28). "One of the greatest contributors to the development of neuroradiology was the neurosurgeon Leo M. Davidoff. . . . He was a surgical resident at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in 1924, and began his neurosurgical training there the following year. 'Davey' was one of Cushing's favorite disciples, and he is considered among the most skilled.

Davidoff" is stamped in gilt on the front cover (also on the spine but the gilt spine lettering is very dull; see photo). Two items are laid in: (1) An ink note by Leo Davidoff concerning Gerstmann's syndrome (spelled "Gerstman" by Davidoff), on the back of a sheet of stationery, with printed letterhead "Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Yeshiva University. . . . Dr. Leo M. Davidoff, Associate Dean, Professor and Chairman, Department of Neurological Surgery"; and (2) Hale Haven's review of Brain Tumors, clipped from the journal Surgery, Gynecology, and Obstetrics, February 1932, p. 256. Leo Davidoff dedicated this book to Harvey Cushing: "Dedicated to My Teacher Doctor Harvey Cushing". In his posthumously-published autobiography entitled "A Tree Not for Myself", Davidoff explains the origin of this, his first book: "During the same period there appeared an advertisement in a medical journal, from a medical society in Rhode Island, offering a prize for a monograph entitled 'Brain Tumors, Their Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prognosis.' I decided to enter the contest; and this was the way in which I wrote my first book [offered here]. There were a dozen or so entries in the contest, and the first prize went to a man named Courville who became the famous neuropathologist on the West Coast; mine was the runner-up. However, the society published only the prize winner's work, and I felt my efforts deserved publication too. I discovered that there was a press at the Utica State Hospital, run largely as an occupational therapy project for patients, which published a quarterly State Journal of Psychiatry; and it was in the Quarterly that my book appeared, in 4 installments which were ultimately published as a collection, and sold for, I believe $1.50 each. This book is now over thirty years old, and of course contains none of the advances in the field of brain tumors that have been made since its publication; yet I still find it useful as an introductory text to the field." Courville's prize-winning work was entitled Intracranial Tumors; Their Pathology, Symptomatology, Diagnosis and Prognosis, and was published in 1931 as the Fiske Fund prize essay of the Rhode Island Medical Society.
