Book Description

Lea & Blanchard, Philadelphia, 1941. First edition. Not an ordinary travelogue, but a series of sketches of prominent surgeons, physicians, medical schools, and hospitals abroad, written by a practicing surgeon in America. Gibson's rambles take him to England, France, Ireland and Scotland. Medical practice is commented on, the hospitals are assessed, and the schools evaluated, all in utmost fairness of manner. Octavo, 309 pages bound in brown ribbed cloth with large bright letters stamped in gilt on spine. Quite scarce as an early piece of cross-cultural medical reporting by an American M.D.
