Modern quarter calf, marbled boards, raised bands, gilt spine title. This copy INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR, "For Dr. Ballingall with the author's respects." First edition. At a very young age Stanley was admitted to the College of Surgeons in 1814 and gained the Jackson prize the following year. At 24 years of age, he was elected assistant surgeon to St. Bartholomew's Hospital (1816). He was already vigorously adding to the medical museum, so much so that he "practically created it." [DNB]. / Dedicated to Thomas Blizard, (1772-1838) F.R.S.L. & E., surgeon. "He was notable both for his knowledge of anatomy and for his invention of a special knife for lithotomy." [DNB]. / The work is arranged in three narrative sections, followed by a series of 7 descriptive plates. Section I is "On the mode of performing the operation." Section II is "On the direction and the extent of the incision of the prostate gland." Section III is devoted to the design and construction of instruments (staff, gorget, beaked knife) useful for the operation of lithotomy. / PROVENANCE: Sir George Ballingall (1780-1855), studied at St. Andrews and the University of Edinburgh, where he was assistant to Dr. Barclay, lecturer on Anatomy. Ballingall, who wrote several medical texts, became regius professor of military surgery at Edinburgh. REFERENCES: DNB, XVIII, pp. 940-1; Kiefer 541; Wellcome, V, p. 174.…
