Abstract
THIS book, the sale of which is limited to four hundred copies, contains the bibliography of a man who was equally well known as an eminent brain surgeon and the author of one of the most successful biographies of recent times. The work, which is preceded by a sympathetic find humorous note by Dr. Arnold Klebs, the well-known medical historian, entitled “Bibliographia Animata”, consists of four parts and appendixes. The first part gives a short account of Dr. Cushing's life, degrees and honours bestowed upon him by more than twenty different nations. In the second part are listed his books, thirteen in number, of which the best known are “The Pituitary Body and its Disorders” (1912), the “Life of Sir William Osier” (1925), and “Intra-cranial Tumours” (1932), of which a German translation appeared in 1935 and a French one in 1937. The third part contains a list of his addresses, papers in journals, and reports published between 1898 and 1938 numbering 306, while the fourth part is devoted to papers emanating from Dr. Cushing's clinics and laboratories.
