A. Nélaton - Élémens de Pathologie Chirurgicale - 1844-1859

A four-volume set, though it comprises the five volumes, of this medical treatise devoted to the study of diseases and lesions falling under surgery, in a period when French medicine is undergoing a profound transformation based on clinical observation, anatomical examination and operative experience -

Surgical pathology then gradually distinguishes itself from a simple description of external diseases to become an organized clinical discipline centered on the precise identification of lesions, their anatomical localization and their consequences for the functioning of the organism -
