WARREN, J. Mason. Surgical Observations With Cases and Operations.
Boston: Ticknor and Fields, 1867. First edition. With a presentation inscription from the author's son, Dr. J. Collins Warren, dated 1905. The inscription is to another Dr. but we are unable to decipher the name. Tall thick 8vo., orig. green cloth, (xvi), 630, (1)p. errata. With a frontis (in colour) and with five plates (including 2 more in colour). Inner front hinge has a tape repair, the last 30pp. have a small dampstain in the outer margin, some light wear to the top of the spine, corners worn, but certainly a very good copy. Heirs of Hippocrates 1762. See G & M 5743.3 for Warren's 1837 paper, the "first rhinoplasty reported in the United States"; and G & M for his 1842 paper on "the first operation for closure of complete clefts of the palate."
John Mason Warren [1811-1867] In the present work, Warren discusses his work in plastic surgery, including rhinoplasty and staphylorrhaphy. He was especially expert at repairing clefts of the palate, having observed Diffenbach and Roux while in Europe and being familiar with his father's work (see No. 1341). The book also contains chapters covering the head and neck, chest, genitourinary system, abdomen, arteries and veins, tumors, injuries and diseases of the nerves, and anesthetics. Writing of this book in Surgery, gynecology, and obstetrics, Warren's son, John Collins Warren, commented "This was, literally a last word on the surgery of that period and has today especial interest from an historical point of view for it marks the close of an era in surgery as Lister's antiseptic system was already in the making" (Vol. 44 (June 1927), p. 278). (Heirs of Hippocrates 1762). John Collins Warren [1842-1927] son of J. Mason Warren. J. Collins ‘Coll' Warren was also a physician, educated at Harvard. After some time in Europe, he returned to the U.S. and became an instructor in surgery at the Harvard Medical School in 1871. He was also on the staff of the Massachusetts Gneral Hospital. His primary area of expertise was the surgical treatment of tumors, and he published extensively on this subject.
