Recounts the "lives" of a gold-headed cane, successively in possession of the Georgian physicians John Radcliffe, Richard Mead, Anthony Askew, David Pitcairn, and Matthew Baillie, and then returned to a glass case in the library of London's Royal College of Physicians. "A gold-headed cane was once a conspicuous part of the physician's adornment, and the particular gold-headed cane of this work was owned by Dr. John Radcliffe (1650-1714), an irascible London physician, who passed it on to a younger contemporary. The custom of passing on the cane continued through a series of five physicians, ending with Matthew Baillie, whose widow presented it to the Royal College of Physicians in 1823. The originally anonymous book is written as an 'autobiography' of the cane and, in a series of charming essays, tells the storyactually biographiesof its several owners. Along the way there is much information concerning the state of medicine and its practice in England during the eighteenth century." (Heirs of Hippocrates) N. B.

Contact seller5-star sellerHalf-Leather. First Edition. First Edition in contemporary green morocco and marbled boards, gilt-ruled spine with floral devices in compartments between the 4 raised hubs, this copy - signed by the author William MacMichael to the dedication page - was the runner-up prize in the then-recently-revived Gold-Headed Cane competitio…n at the UCSF School of Medicine; the competition was revived by William J. Kerr, longtime Chair of Surgery alongside Howard C. Naffzigger; the recipient of the book for the 1943 competition was W. Eugene Stern, student of Naffzigger's (and his eventual son-in-law, as Stern married Naffzigger's daughter Elizabeth) and later founding chief of neurosurgery and chair of surgery at UCLA School of Medicine; there is also a presentation inscription from Kerr to the first white page where he praises Stern for showing "to an unusual degree the qualities of the true physician" and presents the book to him as "first Honorable Mention for the award" and dated it October 23, 1943; Stern has added a note below the inscription identifying the recipient of "the actual gold-headed cane" for that year; the boards in nice shape, binding tight pages bright, marbled endpapers & page block edges, little to no foxing to pages or to the many attractive woodcuts found throughout, the leather is a bit rubbed & scuffed at pressure points, boards lightly rubbed with quiet soil & toning, the former owner's signature (physician Everard Augustus Brande, 1776-1868, apothecary to George III & who later served William IV) to title page and his tasteful bookplate to front pastedown, contemporary marginalia added to page 169 - most likely by Brande - noting the date of death of Baillie, the last of the five physicians in the succession of ownership of the original gold-headed cane, whose wife donated it to the New College of Physicians upon his demise; an overall very nice copy of the First Edition, a one-of-a-kind association copy involving a multi-generational lineage of notable physicians (Brande, Kerr, Naffzigger, Stern) and uniquely signed by the "editor" and "ghost writer" for the cane, William MacMichael; sm 8vo; (12) 179 (1)pp illus. Signed by Author.
