(1835-1884), was an English surgeon who practiced medicine all over the world. He eventually settled in the United States [these volumes inscribed in Cincinnati, Ohio] and started a family, practicing medicine primarily among French and Italian immigrant populations (he was fluent in 6 languages). However, he had never fully recovered from illnesses he picked up while working in India early in his career, and his declining health forced him to stop practicing medicine. After his retirement he served as the vice-consul for Italy.please see photos for conditions of the cover.
