- Berlin: August Hirschwald, 1863
Berlin: August Hirschwald, 1863. FIRST EDITION. With 2 engraved frontispieces and 250 text woodcuts. Contemporary pebbled cloth, gilt on spines, faded; interior fine. From the library of Dr. L. Aschoff with his bookplate. First edition. Virchow’s pioneer work on tumours was never completed. Originally intended to contain 30 lectures, he stopped with lecture 25 on carcinoma, probably because doubts had arisen regarding his conception of the origin of epithelial tumours from reserve cells in the connective tissues. Nevertheless, it is considered the greatest sourcebook on cancer, and clearly pertinent to his cellular pathology.
Virchow (1821-1902), the most prominent figure in the history of pathology, studied in Berlin under Müller and Schönlein. He later worked with Froriep as his assistant prosector and curator of the museum at the Charité Hospital.
