Revised and considerably enlarged by R. Davis, member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Assisted by some of the most eminent physicians and surgeons of the day. First American (edition) for the thirty-third London edition." Black embossed cloth cover has bumped corners with some wear to tips. Dark green oil endpapers. Name and date of 1879 on fep. Color a bit uneven on covers. Chipping to spine at top and bottom. Dusty top. Looks to be some water damage on lower corner back cover and there are faint water stains on the lower corner of pages in the back of the book. No text is obscured. Binding is intact and tight. Small stain on lower spine. Several previously folded pages. This flaws on this volume are really overstated; it is in impressive condition for 150 years old.
