185: Foundations of Medical History Learning & Experimentation JEFF WEBER RARE BOOKS #185: 241 Books important in Medical History: CATALOGUES CELEBRATING MEDICAL HISTORY entail a concerted effort to create the right mix of books. This compilation comes from several different sources, including the libraries of Robert Sonnenschein, Philip Showalter Hench & P. Kahler Hench, and others. Among the great items offered, quite a few show their prior ownership to these men of medicine. Still, I have certain favorites: Descartes on music, Short on Mineral Waters, and especially Hippolyte MORESTIN [#158] which is an extensive archive of original material from his clinical work relating to cosmetic (plastic) surgery as it was prior to WWI.
