Description

This is the sought-after Complete Second Edition (Revised and Enlarged) of The Household Physician by J. M’Gregor-Robertson, published by the Gresham Publishing Company circa 1900. Unlike the common multi-volume sets, this is the massive, all-in-one single volume containing the full 1,104 pages.

A centerpiece for any medical history collection, this edition includes the famous chromolithograph anatomical manikin at the rear. This multi-layered “dummy” features liftable flaps that provide a detailed Victorian perspective on human anatomy. The book is heavily illustrated throughout with black-and-white plates covering medicine, surgery, and nursing.
