A Clinical Memoir on Certain Diseases of the Eye and Ear Consequent on Inherited Syphilis Reprint
By Jonathan Hutchinson
This work defined "Hutchinson's Triad" and established the author as an authority on the disease.
The present work is a well-documented discussion of congenital syphilis, one of several works Hutchinson produced on the subject. He is well known for "Hutchinson's triad," a group of three conditions which, occurring together, are "pathognomonic of syphilis. He called attention to the peg-shaped notched teeth of hereditary syphilis (Hutchinson's teeth), to the chronic keratitis of syphilitic children, and to the deafness produced by hereditary syphilitic middle ear disease" (Pusey, pp. 128-30). Hutchinson (1828-1913) made numerous original observations in the areas of congenital syphilis and skin diseases. He was surgeon to London Hospital and later the Royal College of Surgeons. "His writings reveal an encyclopedic mind conversant with virtually every area of medicine and one able to communicate effectively" (Eimas).
Also included is the 65 page booklet titled "Notes from the Editors" which is usually missing from the book and often sold separately.

A word about the books in the Classics of Medicine (etc.) Library Series.
These extraordinary publications showcase the attractive binding features employed by the book smiths of yesteryear. Each volume is sumptuously bound in top quality cowhide leather, with raised bands accenting the spine. Intricate designs on both boards and spine are finely die stamped in 22 karat gold, as is the lettering on spine. Specially commissioned marble-patterned end leaves, a satin ribbon bookmark and 22 karat finely gilded page edges complete the old world touches to these unique tomes. Their commanding shelf presence lends a classic air to a grouping of modern books and is comfortably at home among a collection of antiquarians. Unquestionably a book crafted with the book lover in mind. Due to the historical significance of the books chosen for the series and the splendid craftsmanship utilized in their publication these prized works command top dollar on the collector's market.
