DUNGLISON, Robley. Medical Lexison. A Dictionary of Medical Science; Containing A Concise Explanation of the Various Subjects and Terms of Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, Hygiene, Therapeutics, Pharmacology, Pharmacy, Surgery, Obstetrics, Medical Jurisprudence...
Philadelphia: Blanchard and Lea, 1856. Thirteenth Edition, Revised. Tall thick 8vo., orig. publisher's calf, leather spine label, 927pp. double columns, 32pp. ads. Bookplate of R.D. Fleming, Warrenton, binding rubbed with some wear, an acceptable copy. Heirs of Hippocrates 1595 citing the third edition, 1842; Waller 2642 (1874 edition).
A native of Keswick, England, Dunglison emigrated in 1824 to the United States when Thomas Jefferson offered him the chair of anatomy and physiology at the University of Virginia. Nine years later he moved to Jefferson Medical College where he remained for the duration of his career. Dunglison must rank among the most prolific of American medical writers and one of its finest lecturers. His works, while not offering much original material, were highly readable and accurate. Of his many books, his dictionary was probably the most popular, passing through twenty-three editions. (Heirs).
