Abstract
ON the occasion of the seventieth birthday earlier this year of the late Prof. Harvey Cushing, Schuman's of New York brought out, under the title of “Seventy Noteworthy Medical Rarities”, an illustrated and annotated catalogue to which are prefixed a portrait of Dr. Cushing, taken about forty years ago, and an appreciation of the eminent surgeon and bibliophile by Dr. Lawrence Reynolds. Among the notable works listed in the catalogue may be mentioned a thirteenth century medical manuscript on vellum containing some of the works of Constantinus Africanus, Giles of Corbeil and others, the work of Bartholomaeus Anglicus entitled “De Proprietatibus Rerum” (1535), Ambroise Paré's “Dix Livres de la Chirurgie” (1564), Gasparo Aselli's book on the lacteals (1627), Robert Boyle's “Sceptical Chymist” (1661) and modern works by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sir William Osler and S.
