Ausgabe mit den von Maclehose in Glasgow gedruckten Tafeln und neuem Titel) und erste deutsche Ausgabe. In dieser Zusammenstellung sehr selten! "The atlas with its fifty-three outstanding photogravures was intended as a supplement to the text, but must have been published in a relatively small edition, as many owners of the text are not even aware that the atlas exists. Cushing considered Macewen the 'chief pioneer in craniocerebral surgery'" (Norman, Neurosciences, 314). - "Macewen's greatest work was in connexion with surgery of the brain. In the above book he included extensive case reports of 65 patients under his care, with details of operative procedures" (Garrison/Morton zum Textband). - "Macewen's greatest achievement is probably his foundation of neurological surgery... In 1893 he published his great work... an incredible record of ten years' achievement" (Heirs of Hippocrates). - First edition, very rare. With 60 illustrations in the text and on plates. Original cloth. With: Atlas of head sections. Later cloth. With: Die infectiös-eitrigen Erkranken des Gehirns... With numerous illustrations in the text and on plates. Half cloth.
