MANUAL FOR HARVARD MEDICAL STUDENTS BY LEGENDARY HARVARD PATHOLOGIST W.T. COUNCILMAN-SIGNED BY HIM.
9 1/2 inches tall hardcover, original green cloth binding, spine gilt, ink inscription front free endpaper to Dr. N.C. Foot ""with the kind regards of W.T. Councilman."" Edges lightly age-toned, otherwise very good+. Four 4x5 inch black & white photomicrographs laid in, with note dated 1913-18 Jan.
PREFACE This manual has developed from the Syllabus of Pathology published by Councilman and Mallory in 1904, and is designed with special reference to the teaching of the subject. The work gives the plan which has been followed in teaching pathology in the Harvard Medical School, and which has proven to be successful. Illustrations were purposely omitted in the work. Excellent and accurate as are most of the illustrations in the current textbooks of Pathology, they still, when objective, represent areas carefully selected for the illustration of a point, more commonly being the author's interpretations. It is much better that the student should make his own illustrations from the objects studied. Drawing is a mode of expression too often neglected. It helps enormously in accuracy of observation, and by a drawing the student often can convey his conception of an object more clearly than by writing. Blank leaves are inserted after the various chapters, on which the student should make notes of conditions observed, and illustrate these with original drawings. In this way he will contribute to the creation of a book which will be of value to him, the most valuable portion being his own contribution.
WILLIAM THOMAS COUNCILMAN (1854 - 1933) was an American pathologist, remembered for his contribution in a monograph on amoebic dysentery (1891) which described detailed observations of it and its parasite. He is even better known for his work on Yellow Fever. Dr. William Thomas Councilman served as the first pathologist-in-chief at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital. He had arrived in Harvard Medical School earlier in 1892 and was an expert in the study of amebiasis, diphtheria, smallpox, and yellow fever. His vivid morphologic description of changes seen in the liver of yellow fever lives on today as ""Councilman body"".
