CONTENTS: A collection of works by Dr George H. Kidd, presented to Sir John Banks KCB, by Kidd's widow - she inscribes the book at the front endpaper. As well as a few addresses to conferences, there are also several essays and articles from various sources, including:
On Inflammation and Obstruction of the Branches of the Pulmonary Artery (n.d., 17pp); Observations on the Construction of the Cephalotribe (1867, reprinted from British Medical Journal, 5pp); On the Postural Treatment of Prolapse of the Funis (1868, reprinted from Dublin Quarterly Journal of Medical Science, 7pp);
On the Diagnosis and Treatment of Uterine Polypi (1869, reprinted from Dublin Quarterly Journal of Medical Science, 32pp); On Decapitation as a mode of Delivery in cases of Shoulder Presentation, in which version cannot be safely effected (1871, reprinted from Dublin Quarterly Journal of Medical Science, 8pp);
On Fibrous Tumours of the Uterus (1872, reprinted from Dublin Journal of Medical Science, 17pp); Further Observations on Fibrous Tumours of the Uterus (1876, reprinted from Dublin Journal of Medical Science, 16pp); On Puerperal Fever (1884, reprinted from Dublin Journal of Medical Science, 23pp).
Several of the articles include drawings in the text, a couple have full-page plates, and one has a colour lithographic frontispiece. A nicely bound work, obviously unique, and of interest to collectors of medical texts. |
