Overview: This is a genuine, post-Civil War American medical manual titled Essentials of the Principles and Practice of Medicine: A Handy-Book for Students and Practitioners. Written by Henry Hartshorne, M.D.—a prominent 19th-century physician and Professor of Hygiene at the University of Pennsylvania—this book offers a fascinating, firsthand look into mid-19th-century clinical practice, pathology, and therapeutics. Features an authentic, circular embossed blind stamp from a Philadelphia bookseller on the early preliminary leaves Features multiple beautiful historical ink signatures from a past owner, "A. P. Maine, Vernon Center, Oneida Co., NY", on the flyleaf pages I’m happy to answer any questions. Thank you for looking!
