This was the most popular surgical text of the 18th century; it underwent numerous editions and translations". The plates show numerous surgical instruments and their application. Old dampstains affecting the edges, scattered foxing throughout. Short tears (not affecting text) to four of the leaves, some old mends to five of the leaves and one of the plates.
