RIVERRUN BOOKS & MANUSCRIPTS CATALOGUE THREE THE TRANSMISSION OF MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE: FROM BOOK TO JOURNAL

THE COLLECTION OF ALLAN B. KIRSNER, M. D.

RIVERRUN BOOKS & MANUSCRIPTS CATALOGUE THREE The earliest writings of Hippocrates and his school date to the late-5th century B.C. Over the course of the next two millenia, doctors communicated their observations in book-length treatises. That practice changed in the late-17th and 18th centuries, with the increasing need for faster and shorter communications – a direct result of the use of the scientiﬁc method. The ﬁrst and most important of these journals, founded in 1665, was The Royal Society’s Philosophical Transactions. Its brief communications covered the range of the natural sciences, and the journal form was born.

By the mid-18th centuty, groups of doctors were publishing pure medical journals, one of the ﬁrst being Medical Observations and Enquiries (item 156). The following decades saw the rise of multiple new medical journals published by groups of doctors., medical societies, hospitals, and medical schools. Finally, subspecialty societies published journals for their own ﬁelds. While books continued to be written and published throughout this period, the journal became the most efective tool for quickly disseminating new information.

Medical librarians, historians, and collectors focused for many years on the earliest contributions in book form rather than on publications in journals. This was in large part due to the difculty in identifying the major contributions to medicine in the large number of journals and the even larger number of articles they contained. This problem was solved with the pioneering bibliographic work of Fielding H. Garrison (1870-1935) and Leslie T. Morton (1907-2004), whose A Medical Bibliography is now the central reference in the ﬁeld. Credit for the original idea goes to Sir William Osler. The great physician-collector suggested to the Surgeon General’s Library in 1911 that it segregate its more important material for safekeeping. The librarian Fielding Garrison drew up a list that was published in volume 17 of the Index-Catalogue of 1912. This list evolved into his Introduction to the History of Medicine (1913), the groundbreaking work he saw through four editions. Afer Garrison’s death in 1935, the British librarian Leslie T. Morton sought to expand and correct Garrison’s bibliography. The ﬁrst edition of Morton’s A Medical Bibliography was published in 1943.

In 2014, the copyright of Morton’s Medical Biography reverted to Jeremy Norman, who in 1991 had issued a revised and further expanded ﬁfh edition. Norman has since made the bibliographies freely available on the Internet. This accessibility and the extensive revision, addition, and ampliﬁcation of materials further develops the ambitions and aims of the original project. For that reason, Norman’s name is added to those of Garrison and Morton in the following references. Collectors and cataloguers of these contributions owe as great a debt to Lee Ash’s Serial Publications Containing Medical Classics (1961). Though unacknowledged in descriptions, this index to Garrison-Morton-Norman remains the key to revealing many serial volumes’ most important papers.

When Lee Ash’s work was published in 1961, Dr. Kirsner was a medical student, interested in and collecting medical history for about four years. Using the two reference tools, he was able to identify and acquire all of contributions to medicine during the age of the journal found in this catalogue. He continued to collect books as well, but realized that most of the major contributions to medicine since the mid-18th century were found in journals rather than books. The majority of the items in this catalogue were collected before he entered private practice in 1969. This catalogue thus ofers a collection formed ﬁfy years ago, one to which no additions or subtractions have been made over this last half century.

Special notice must also be given to the ﬁrst and early American editions that are featured here. One sees in the 19th century the growth of medical literature in America both in urban and rural locations, and each edition adds some element of the New World to the Old. This can be found in the prefaces, introductions, or approaches to the material that were reworked to address speciﬁc American needs. – TFL THE FIRST TEXTBOOK IN NEUROPATHOLOGY

A CLASSIC IN ONCOLOGY AND THE ORIGIN OF OUR UNDERSTANDING OF HODGKIN’S DISEASE

London: Longman, Rees, Orme, et al, 1832. 8vo. Hodgkin’s paper is on pp. 68-114. Entire volume: xxiii, 523 pp. Original embossed cloth, gilt-lettered on spine, gilt crest on front cover. Chipping to ends of spine, library bookplate on pastedown, hinges cracked but volume tight and clean.

FIRST EDITION. Hodgkin’s historic paper was read before the society on 10 and 24 January 1832. With characteristic modesty, Hodgkin outlined his findings, showing his careful scholarly correlation of clinical medicine and mobid anatomy in the delineation of the disease. “The morbid alterations of structure which I am about to describe are probably familiar to many practical morbid anatomists, since they can scarcely have failed to have fallen under their observation in the course of cadaveric inspection. They have not, as far as I am aware, been made the subject of special attention, on which account I am induced to bring forward a few cases in which they have occurred to myself, trusting that I shall at least escape severe or general censure, even though a sentence or two should be produced from some existing work, couched in such concise but expressive language, as to render needless the longer details with which I shall trespass on the time of my hearers.” He was most likely correct that others had observed the same condition. David Craigie, for example, discusses the pathology of the lymphatic glands in his Elements of General and Pathological Anatomy (1828), citing repeated attacks of inflammation alternating with resolution. But it seems unlikely that Craigie recognized the distinctive nature of the disease process. Hodgkin, however, was convinced that he was dealing with a primary disease of the absorbent (lymphatic) glands and not a banal secondary response to an obscure inflammatory condition. He briefly describes six cases, and references a seventh seen by Carswell, and his conclusions correctly identified the disease that now bears his name. See Henry S.

Second edition. Introduction by Joseph Adams. “In Hunter’s day venereal diseases were thought to be due to a single poison. To test this theory Hunter experimented with matter taken from a gonorrhoeal patient who, unknown to Hunter, also had syphilis. Hunter maintained that gonorrhoea continued 51 and syphilis were caused by a single pathogen. Backed by the weight of his authority, this experiment retarded the development of knowledge regarding the two diseases. Contrary to legend, however, there is no proof that Hunter actually inoculated himself with venereal disease. The hard (‘Hunterian’) chancre eponymizes Hunter; his book also contains the ﬁrst suggestion of lymphogranuloma venereum as a separate disease, and this work also makes a major contribution to urological surgery” (Garrison-Morton-Norman 2377, ﬁrst edition of 1786).

Leidy was responsible for the first transplantation of tumors, discovered bacterial flora of the intestines, and wrote the first description of trichinosis in the pig [see G-M-N 5338, 3450, 2614, 8825, 421, 5359, and 2459] (signature on title, pastedown); Philip Leidy (bookplate). Wear at extremities.

Later revised American edition. Ricord’s annotations to Hunter’s great work were ﬁrst published in Paris in 1840. This American edition follows his second, which was greatly enlarged and revised. Hunter wrongly concluded that syphilis and gonorrhea were manifestations of the same venereal pathogen. He based this on an experiment designed to test this theory, in which an unknown subject was inoculated with infectious matter taken from a gonorrheal patient. Hunter, though, did not know that this patient had also contracted syphilis. When the subject developed syphilitic symptoms, Hunter interpreted this result as validation of the theory, as eighteenth-century medical doctrine did not recognize the possibility of mixed infection. Ricord made the important contribution in his own study that the experiment had gone awry. Garrison-Morton-Norman 2377 (ﬁrst edition of 1786). Cordasco 50-0955; Wellcome III:317. (401959) $300

Corners renewed with leather, spine repaired; some foxing, library inkstamps on title and several leaves.

Fourth edition in English. “This book revolutionized the study of diseases of the chest. Auscultation in the instrumental sense dates from Laennec’s invention of the stethoscope (at ﬁrst merely a roll of stif paper) with a view to amplifying the sound of the heart’s action. The work illustrates his wooden stethoscope, which could be purchased from the publishers, and which was advertised for sale on the original printed wrappers of the ﬁrst edition. Laennec was considered the greatest teacher of his time on tuberculosis. Indeed, it was in elaboration of his investigation of the disease that he invented the stethoscope. He established the fact that all phthisis is tuberculous, described pneumothorax and distinguished pneumonia from the various kinds of bronchitis and from pleuritis. ‘Laennec’s cirrhosis’ – chronic interstitial hepatitis – is described on p. 368 of Vol. 1. The second edition, 1826, is even more important, since it gives not only the various

56 physical signs elicited in the chest, but adds the pathological anatomy, diagnosis, and treatment of each disease encountered. Laennec died of tuberculosis at the early age of 45” (Garrison-Morton-Norman 2673, 3219, 3614, ﬁrst edition in French, 1819). (401960) $350

FIRST AMERICAN EDITION. “In his day Liston was the most dexterous and resourceful surgeon in the British Isles. He was the first in the country to remove the scapula and the first – on 21 Dec. 1846 – to perform a major operation with the aid of an anesthetic... Liston suggested the use of a mirror which could be used for viewing edematous tumors of the larynx” (Garrison-Morton-Norman 3328 and 5593, first edition London, 1837). Norris, who prepared the American edition, was a surgeon at the Pennsylvania Hospital. He writes in his preface that Liston’s work “may be regarded as a summary of the practice of the first of British operative surgeons to the present day... the Editor has restricted himself to adding a few brief notices of the manner in which some of the more common surgical afections are treated with us, at the same time that he has called attention to certain points which have been passed over lightly by the author, and embodied with it the details of several American operations, which from their originality or rarity have appeared to him worthy of notice.” Cordasco 30-0563.

Title, 392 pp. Contemporary Spanish mottled calf, red morocco spine label. Some light rubbing to joints and along spine, generally in ﬁne condition.

José Rives y Mayor was professor of surgery at the San Carlos Royal College in Madrid, and was in his time an innovator in surgical practice in Spain, and was one of the principle instructors in the country. Though none of his lectures have been published, the present manuscript is one of ﬁve known to have been compiled by his students and now in the Facultad de Medicina de Madrid. The earliest of these dates from 1809/10, and the last from 1825-28. Mariano Pérez Albacete writes of the four recorded in Spain at the Royal College; the present shares a title with one that is there, though is of a diferent date (see Albacete, “D. José Rives y Mayor, cirujano de operaciones del Real Colegio de San Carlos de Madrid,” in: Historia de la urologia, Arch. Esp. Urol., 5, 7 (777-783), 2002.)

Rives y Mayor lectured on a wide range of subjects as evidenced in the broad range of topics included in this lengthy collection of his teachings. From gangrene to dermatological diseases, ocular issues, aneurisms, heart conditions, and a myriad of other medical subjects, the author of this manuscript transcribed Rives y Mayor’s lectures in great detail, providing instructions about diagnoses, causes, and treatments.

See José Maria López Piñero, “Las ciencias médicas en la España del siglo XIX,” in Ayer, no. 7, 1992, pp. 193-240, noting that Rives y Mayor’s writings were strongly anotomical-clinical, and remain unpublished. (402141) $1,250

While at the Rockefeller Foundation, he was accused by fellow researcher Oskar Klotz of inoculating huge numbers of monkeys with yellow fever and failing to keep proper records. Many of his claims were unable to be reproduced, further questioning his reputation. (401927) $100

Second edition (stated). “The timing of the textbook was almost perfect. Principles and Practice was at once a monument to the achievements of nineteenth-century scientiﬁc medicine and a gateway to the twentieth century. Osler had mastered the mainstream clinicopathological tradition of the past seventy years. He was thoroughly up on the bacteriological work of the 1880s that had solved such a central conundrum in the etiology of infectious disease. With a few exceptions, his accounts of the natural history of disease still make sense, in some instances are considered classic. In 1892 the endocrine system had not been understood, the body’s immune system was still a mystery, viruses could not be identiﬁed, principles of nutrition and genetics were largely unknown, and x-rays, electrocardiographs, and scores of other diagnostic devices had not yet been developed” (Bliss, William Osler: A Life in Medicine).

Entire volume: 624 pp. Original decorated cloth, the front cover with gilt- and black-blocked title vignette, repeated on the spine. A ﬁne copy.

FIRST EDITION IN ENGLISH. The ﬁrst announcement in English of Röntgen’s ground-breaking discovery of X-Rays in 1895. Though earlier experimenters had been nearing the discovery, it was not found until the unassuming Würtzburg professor Wilhem Röntgen experimented with William Crookes’ version of the “Geisslertube,” a form of vacuum tube sealed at the ends with platinum terminals to permit the passage of an electric current through the tube. “Hertz and Lenard had published on the penetrating powers of cathode rays (electrons) and Röntgen thought that there were unsolved problems worth investigation... As a preliminary to viewing the cathode rays on a ﬂuorescent screen, Röntgen completely covered his discharge tube with a black card, and then chanced to notice that such a screen lying on a bench some distance away was glowing brightly. Although others had operated Crookes tubes in laboratories for

80 over thirty years, it was Röntgen who found that X rays are emitted by the part of the glass wall of the tube that is opposite the cathode and that receives the beam of cathode rays. He spent six weeks in absolute concentration, repeating and extending his observations on the properties of the new rays. He found that they travel in straight lines, cannot be refracted or reﬂected, are not deviated by a magnet, and can travel about two meters in air. He soon discovered the penetrating properties of the rays... The apparent magical nature of the new rays was something of a shock even to Röntgen... On 22 December he brought his wife into the laboratory and made an X-ray photograph of her hand. It was no doubt the possibility of seeing living skeletons, thus pandering to man’s morbid curiosity, that contributed to the peculiarly rapid worldwide dissemination of the discovery” (DSB).

Translations of Röntgen’s paper soon started to appear, beginning with an English translation in Nature on 23 January. By 20 February Nature was commenting that “so numerous are the communications being made to scientiﬁc societies that it is difcult to keep pace with them, and the limits of our space would be exceeded if we attempted to describe the whole of the contributions to the subject, even at this early stage” (Bakker, p. 319). News was quick to spread, and was soon to be interpreted, studied, and reviewed. On pp. 276-77 is A. A. C. Swinton’s “Professor Röntgen’s Discovery,” illustrated with an x-ray and reviewing recent newspaper reports of Röntgen’s discovery. On pp. 377-380 is “The Röntgen Rays,” a further review.

82 in Okalona, Mississippi just 5 days before Adams’s inscription. The Preface states: “The merits of this work as a handy and convenient manual for reference in the ﬁeld and hospital, have induced the publishers to add to it a chapter (the Ninth) on Gunshot Wounds, and such other subjects peculiar to Military Surgery as seemed requisite to adapt it more thoroughly to the wants of Army Surgeons. Owing to the absence of the Author in Europe, this has been prepared by Dr. W. F. Atlee. Philadelphia, March, 1862.” See Rutkow, The History of Surgery in the United States, GS25 (ﬁrst edition).

FIRST EDITION. Schleiden co-founded cell theory, along with Theodor Swann and Rudolf Virchow, and was one of the first German biologists to accept Darwin’s theory of evolution. “Schleiden demonstrated that plant tissues are made up of and developed from groups of cells, of which he recognized the ‘cytoblast’ or cell-nucleus. He observed with great accuracy certain other activities of the cell, and is an important figure in the development of the cell theory. Unfortunately he held that young cells develop spontaneously from the cytoblast, an acceptance of the theory of spontaneous generation” (Garrison-Morton-Norman 112). Although his theory of spontaneous generation of the cell was incorrect, Schleiden’s work marked an important stage in the development of modern cell theory.

THE FIRST USE OF CHLOROFORM AS AN ANESTHESIA

150. SIMPSON, Sir James Young (1811-1870). “Discovery of a new anaesthetic agent, more efcient than sulphuric ether”. In: The London Medical Gazette. New Series. Vol. V. London: Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans, 1847. 8vo. Simpson’s paper is on pp. 934-37. Entire volume: [1], 1172 pp. Contemporary half calf, marbled boards, black morocco lettering- piece. Light rubbing; light browning to text, generally very good.

FIRST EDITION. “In an attempt to find an anesthetic less irritating than ether, Simpson discovered the advantages of chloroform. He had previously used ether with great benefit in midwifery, but now substituted chloroform, being the first to do so” (Garrison-Morton-Norman 5657). The paper appeared simultaneously in The Lancet (v. 2, 1847, p. 549).

First announcements of surgical operations under general anesthesia appeared in October 1846. Since that announcement, Simpson began to search for substances as good as or better than the American ethyl ether. While riﬂing through papers on his desk, he found a vial of a colorless liquid

86 sent to him by the German apothecary, Justus von Leibig. It was chloroform, and Simpson and his associates, Keith and Duncan, successfully utilized it. Simpson immediately recommended its use to alleviate pains in childbirth. He presented the results of his experiments with chloroform to the Medico- Chirurgical Society in Edinburgh on 10 November 1847; they published his scarce ﬁrst report. This is his second report on chloroform. On page 906 in the volume is the preliminary announcement: “Discovery of a substitute for ether vapour.”

“Chloroform’s considerable advantages over sulphuric ether, enumerated by Simpson in his paper, caused it to rapidly displace ether as a universal continued 87 anesthetic. Its use in obstetrics was however denounced from various conservative quarters as immoral and hostile to the laws of religion, labor pains being considered God’s punishment for Eve’s sins, and Simpson was forced to embark “on a long publishing campaign to convert the opposition. His most famous non-scientific argument was that God Himself had been the first anesthetist when He ‘caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam’ before bringing forth Eve from his rib. Simpson’s eforts were finally established by the medical establishment when Queen Victoria chose to take chloroform for the birth of Prince Leopold in 1853” (Norman 1945, of Simpson’s first paper, Edinburgh, 1847).

Snow’s early research concerned the physiology of respiration, which “placed him in a favorable position when ether was introduced as an anesthetic in 1846... Snow at once began experimenting with the substance and invented an apparatus for its administration, based on physiological principles. He demonstrated its use at St. George’s Hospital with so much smoothness and success that he was invited to work with Liston [the ﬁrst surgeon to employ ether, during a leg amputation in December 1846], and later with most of the well-known surgeons of London. Rapidly Snow became the premier anesthetist of the country” (DSB). See Garrison-Morton-Norman 5658 and Norman 1965. (402194) $400
