Note: The following medical and surgical
texts were used immediately before or during the Civil War. They are a
window into a medical education as it was presented to the students and
surgeons who served in the War. There were a multitude of
medical
colleges in the late 1850's and 60's, as well as publishers who sold text
books from American, English and French authors.
Principles and Practice
of Modern Surgery, (1860), by Robert Druitt
A copy of this text book is
listed in the Surgeon
General's Office Library Catalogues or the
list of medical
textbooks which were published during the Civil War by the Army
Medical Department.
DRUITT ROBERT, FRCS.
THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF MODERN SURGERY A new and revised American
from the eighth enlarged and improved London edition Illustrated with
four hundred and thirty two wood engravings In one very handsomely
printed octavo volume leather of nearly 700 large pages $3.50.
A
work which like Drutit's Surgery has for so many years maintained the
position of a leading favorite with all classes of the profession needs
no special recommendation to attract attention to a revised edition. The extent of these additions may be
estimated from the fact that it now contains about one third more matter
than the previous American edition and that not withstanding the adoption
of a smaller type the pages have been increased by about one hundred
while nearly two hundred and fifty wood cuts have been added to the
former list of illustrations.
