8vo. [iii]-xv, 91, [2] pp. 9 engraved plates, ads.; some leaves browned, lacks half-title. Original dark green blind- and gilt-stamped cloth. An unusually fine copy. RARE. First edition in which Lizars directly criticizes James Syme. The editor of Lancet published, "We cannot refrain from expressing our surprise and regret, that Mr. Syme, while labouring under the influence of excited feelings, should exhibit such profound ignorance of the duty of an impartial public journalist. As we are not accustomed to be influenced by threats, we trust that the note which we now published from Mr. Syme will terminate that gentleman's correspondence with the Lancet." / A second edition was printed with an added appendix, in a total of 130 pages and 11 plates, also issued in 1851. Both forms are rare. / "Lizars claimed in print in 1838 that James Syme had endangered a patient's life and ruined his health by want of care in averting hemorrhage; Syme had been an unsuccessful competitor for the post held by Lizars. Syme replied with a lawsuit, in which he claimed damages for false and malicious statement. The suit was successful, but with token damages only. Syme, however, had a probable role in dissuading the College of Surgeons from re-electing a professor of surgery when Lizars's tenure of the office finished. Lizars published further criticism, in 1851, of external urethrotomy as practised by Syme. Syme retaliated with a comprehensive personal attack; this time Lizars sued, and lost." [Wikip.] [DNB]. / John Lizars was Professor of Surgery and Anatomy at the Royal College of Surgeons at Edinburgh. / WITH: Extract from MEDICAL TIMES, 12th April, 1851. "A greater share of interest than usual attaches to this work, from the prominent part taken by Professor Lizars in the controversy respecting the propriety of adopting Mr. Syme's practice of making a long section through the perineum in cases of Stricture of the Urethra." [3 pp.]. Not in Kiefer.…
