Cushing Bibliography no. 24: "The present volume 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 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. . . . 1765 copies were printed, none with English imprint." Some of the passage quoted above from the Bibliography is also quoted by John Fulton on p. 700 of his biography of Harvey Cushing. Fulton does not name the person who wrote this, only referring to the person as one of Cushing's "friends". Fulton does quote more by Cushing's friend: "the day-to-day life of his patients, the fact that he gave as much, if not more, time and attention to the impecunious Tim Donovan as he did to Leonard Wood can be read between the lines and it makes the book irresistibly fascinating." The pages in Cushing's book for Timothy Donovan are pp. 667, 669, 700, 734; those for Leonard Wood are pp. 408-414.

Written with Louise Eisenhardt and published in 1938, Meningiomas is a monograph of incredible description and detail. The meticulous categorization of meningiomas, their presentation, clinical outcome, and surgical therapies are even further supplemented by Cushing's personal commentary, questions, and recollections. Cushing's genius was evident in his ability not only to make insightful clinical observations, but also to synthesize these ideas within the neurosurgical context of his era. As he says in Meningiomas, "Thus the pathological curiosity of one day becomes in its proper time a commonplace. Most of which are one and the same disorder--had, for their interpretation, to await the advent of the Neurosurgeon." ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall.…

8vo. xiv, 785 pp. Frontispiece, illustrations. Original navy blue cloth, gilt-stamped spine, dust-jacket; spine faded, jacket spine ends chipped. Ownership signature of Dr. Murl E. Kinal. Bookplate of Harry B. Friedman. Very good in very good - jacket. FIRST EDITION of Cushing's monumental work on tumors arising from the meninges. Quintessential in its field, this monograph is widely considered to represent some of Cushing's finest work. "It remains the classic description of this group of tumors and continues to fascinate neurosurgeons the world over today" (Lee, p. 8). "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" (AANS, XIII, No. 24). "Meningiomas was hailed by reviewers as a masterpiece, a classic, an epic of neurosurgery, and proof of Cushing's stature 'as one of the great surgeons of all time. Geoffrey Jefferson observed that it contained a whole philosophy of surgery and of the doctor-patient relationship. . . .' The book was Cushing's last published word as a neurosurgeon" (Bliss, p. 510). "The improvement in neurosurgical outcomes at the turn of the 20th century was a result of more refined surgical technique, application of Lister's antiseptic principles, and more precise localization of tumor. Cushing's contributions were crucial to the advancement of intracranial surgery for meningioma and for that matter, all of neurosurgery in general" (Pamir, et al.). PROVENANCE: Friedman is a Memphis, TN neurosurgeon. Kinal (1918-1965) was a British physician whose parents emigrated from the Ukraine. He was part of the 1956 Congress of Neurological Surgeons in Chicago (listed under Erie, PA), and his name is listed among the Directory of Neurological Surgeons in the United States, 1961. He died of lung cancer two months after his 47th birthday. On Kinal: "My father was a great man of great achievements. He projected an integrity and vision so compelling that even today, 23 years after his death, people speak of him with a reverence belonging to historic heroes and saints. He was not a saint. On the contrary, his tremendous personal magnetism flowed from the fact that he was an ordinary man who did and said extraordinary things, who strove not to elevate himself above others but to inspire others to rise to their own maximum potential (Kinal, Brian).

The bookplate of Harvey Cushing has been pasted to the front pastedown and bears this inscription printed in ink by Harvey Cushing: "For Geo. F. Frey from H.C." (see photo). "Geo. F. Frey" was the way in which Cushing often addressed Geoffrey Jefferson (Schurr, So That was Life, a Biography of Geoffrey Jefferson, p. 188).

The copy is sent from our printers in Menasha, Wisconsin and I trust reaches you promptly and in good order. With kindest regards. Faithfully Charles C. Thomas [signed]. Glued to the rear pastedown is a large, cropped photograph of Louise Eisenhardt, on which Geoffrey Jefferson has written: "My photograph of Louise Eisenhardt 1937" (see photo). A small, uncropped print of the same photograph of Eisenhardt is laid in. In 1937 Jefferson visited Yale. "While in New Haven he took the opportunity to spend some time with Louise Eisenhardt, the neuropathologist, and going over the basophil adenoma cases in the Tumor Registry" (Schurr, So That was Life, a Biography of Geoffrey Jefferson, p. 187).

Original Cloth. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. First Edition. Inscribed by Cushing on front flyleaf: "Inscribed for/ [ink stamp: Dr. Leo M. Davidoff]/who will find many of his foot prints herein/Harvey Cushing." Davidoff's engraved bookplate and ink stamp (with his address) on front pastedown. Enclosed in a cloth clamshell box. This is the first edition of Cushing's great work on meningiomas. Cushing was one of the founders of neurological surgery. This copy has been inscribed to Leo Davidoff, Cushing's "assistant in neurological surgery" for the period November 1925 to October 1926. Davidoff was the coauthor with Cushing of one monograph (see Cushing bibliography, no. 12) and at least two papers. "One of the greatest contributors to the development of neuroradiology was the neurosurgeon Leo. N. Davidoff. He was a surgical resident at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in 1924, and began his neurological training there the following year. 'Davey' was one of Cushing's favorite disciples, and he is considered among the most skilled. [His] publications helped establish Leo Davidoff as the father of neuroradiology in North America. Davidoff raised the standards of neuroradiographic interpretation. In doing so he created the framework for methods of passing this information to his intellectual descendants." (Greenblatt, History of Neurosurgery, pp. 231-32 [portrait of Davidoff reproduced on p. 231]). Signed by Author. …

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Frontispiece, xiv, 785 pp; 685 figs. Original cloth. Bottom corner of front cover bumped. Half title foxed (see photo). Fore edges foxed (see photo). Slight musty odor. First Edition. SIGNED BY HARVEY CUSHING: "Dr. Martin Gumpert/ with the compliments of/ Harvey Cushing" (see photo). Martin Gumpert devoted a chapter to Harvey Cushing in his book "Das Leben für die Idee. Neun Forscherschicksale" (1935), which was translated into English as "Trail-Blazers of Science. Life Stories of Some Half Forgotten Pioneers of Modern Research" (1936). The chapter on Harvey Cushing is entitled, in the English translation, "The Outlook. Harvey Cushing, the Brain Surgeon, a Type of the Future Scientist." Gumpert sent a copy of the original German edition to Harvey Cushing, who had not known about Gumpert's work until the book had been published. After reading the German edition, Cushing wrote a long letter to Gumpert (November 19, 1935), which Gumpert included--with the title "When Pavlov Visited America"--in the English translation.
