About This Item
London:: Grafton Book, Andre Deutsch, 1970., 1970. Thick 8vo. xiv, 15-872 pp. Index. Cloth, dust-jacket; minimal wear to jacket extremities. Very good. This third edition contains 6804 bibliographic entries (often annotated), listing the most important of all medical texts. / "Early in his career, Morton developed an abiding interest in the history of medicine. Naturally, he was aware of Fielding Garrison's Texts Illustrating the History of Medicine in the Library of the Surgeon General's Office (1912, revised 1933). Morton recognized its shortcomings and determined to remedy them, by compiling an augmented and annotated revision. He began the project in 1938 and completed it during the dark days of World War II. In 1943, it appeared as A Medical Bibliography: An Annotated Check-list of Texts Illustrating the History of Medicine (Garrison and Morton). Ever the model of probity, Morton acknowledged Garrison's earlier work in the title, even if most of the effort was his own. The check-list went through [five printed] editions (with additional printings) . . ." - Shane Godbolt & T. Mark Hodges, "Leslie T. Morton, 1907–2004," Journal Medical Library Assoc., 2004 July; 92(3): pp. 385–387.
