NY:: Basic Books,, 1966. Dust jacket upper corners lightly bumped; otherwise, book condition good.. + appendix, bibliography, notes, index. Starting with the three ancient professions (Divinity, Physic, & Law), author inquires into nature of `the professional outlook,' rise of qualifying examinations, competition replacing patronage, profession reformers' demands on the educational system, & invasion of professions by women...`why the professions have an air of deep antiquity about them which is more than half bogus, since modern professions are largely a Victorian invention.' ||| Heavily documented.
