Note

Finely bound for Sultan Abdulmecid I (1823-61), in red morocco gilt with his arms. This work has been translated from the second volume of John Hunter's Complete Works. "Repeating Hunter's experiment, Ricord proved that syphillis and gonorrhoea were separate diseases. After Hunter, he was the greatest authority on venereal disease".
