"The principal object in view, in the following memoir, has been to give the entire topography of the medulla oblongata and trapezium, with illustrations from a series of photographs, the negatives of which have been prepared solely by myself, and have in no case received any retouching..... For the labor and patience bestowed on the photo-lithographs by Mr. L. H. Bradford....I owe and gladly render my most grateful thanks."---from the Preface, by John Dean. A classic of photomechanical incunabula. Modern half-cloth binding. No ownership markings. Hint of minor moisture damage to several plates. Quite clean. Very good.
