About This Item
Copy 63 of a limited edition of 100 copies printed on rag paper. Original 1955 edition.It is hardly an exaggeration to say that this collection, in the fields it covers, is unparalleled in modern times. It comprises practically all major works published in the realm of medicine before 1800, as well as a highly representative selection of literature on the subject. While the famous collection of Sir William Osler and Dr Harvey Cushing each comprise some 8,000 items, Dr. Wallers includes nearly 21,000, and it is also far superior in quality. (T. Kleberg in the preface).Only some very minor wear to the extremities of the wrappers; otherwise a fine set in the original paper wrappers.
