Professionally re-spined with original cloth laid on and new endpapers, otherwise light wear. Solid hardcover. ; "In this handbook I have endeavoured to draw a line between surgical operations on the female organs and proceedings of a more or less purely obstetrical or therapeutical character fully described in current works on midwifery and diseases of women. This manual is devoted to true surgery ...Much importance is attached to the anatomy and methods of examination of the pelvic organs and to a proper selection of instruments. A sound knowledge of these subjects will greatly lighten the task of the operator." An important late Victorian textbook of gynecological surgery.; 485+16ad pages.
