Description

Influential early nineteenth-century surgical treatise by John Abernethy (1764–1831), the celebrated St. Bartholomew’s Hospital lecturer and follower of John Hunter. Abernethy’s work advanced the view that many local diseases stem from constitutional origins, advocating cautious, conservative treatment in an era before modern anesthesia and antibiotics. Notable for its early discussion of arterial ligation for aneurisms and for reflecting Abernethy’s characteristic blend of empirical observation and philosophical speculation. A foundational text from one of the era’s most prominent and provocative surgical educators.
