SECOND, ENLARGED EDITION, atlas volume only, of an illustrated work on the anatomy of the brain first published the year before. An ingenious succession of cut-outs in plates 7-12 reveals each succeeding plate, simulating the stages of an actual dissection. Ramsay studied medicine at Edinburgh University, and founded a school of anatomy at Fryeburg, Maine. He gave lectures in America and England to support the school. Among the subjects he studied was rattlesnake venom, and it is believed that poisoning from a snake bite may have been the cause of his death. Reference: Roberts & Tomlinson, Fabric of the Body, pp. 498-501. The work is very rare and not listed in Wellcome, Waller and Osler. - Visit our website to see more images!
