Cooper, Sir Astley Paston (1768-1841)

Lectures on surgery...Vol. I. Signature of W[illiam] H[amilton] B[rown] Ross [1810-1871] on the title-page, and on the verso of the last leaf.

c. 1815

1 volume 184 ll. last bl.. 4to. 231/2 x 181/2 cm. Original vellum binding. Written for the most part on rectos only, with some pencilled additions by the same hand. One of these-a note on concussion, refers to a case which occurred in 1816.

Purchased 1912.

The name of the lecturer is given on the title as 'Mr A. A. Cooper', but this is clearly an error, as the Lectures here taken down correspond closely with Sir Astley Cooper's printed 'Lectures on Surgery' published in 1820.
