1878 GRAY S ANATOMY Surgery Illustrated Medicine Physician Cardiology Neurology The most comprehensive and detailed textbook on human anatomy! Few works go through as many editions as Henry Gray s Anatomy. In 2015, Gray s Anatomy reached its 41st edition, and even still it is considered to be the most comprehensive and detailed textbook on the subject! (O Neal, USATODAY, 2005.) This rare late 19th-century edition is considered exceedingly rare, and editions printed by Lea Brothers are very desirable to doctors and medical students still today. During the early 20th-century, there was a boom in medical understanding and knowledge. This book was a critical component in that boom, thus the reason for dozens more editions being printed! Thomas Pickering Pick, editor, is known chiefly for his edits of the 10th through 14th-editions of this work. According to Heirs of Hippocrates , Gray s Anatomy still remains a standard textbook, and much of the original text and many of the superb anatomical illustrations have been retained throughout the successive editions�[a work that] must be compared to the Fabrica of Vesalius. This edition features over 500 woodcut engravings. Impressive! Item number: #24469 Price: $750 GRAY, Henry Anatomy, descriptive and surgical. Philadelphia: Henry C. Lea, 1878.
