See images for condition. About the book >.>.> THE HISTORY of European surgery in the sixteenth century is dominated by the figure of Ambroise Par?, one of the great-est surgeons of all time. His collected Works were published in French in 1575, and to these he added at a later date his famous surgical autobiography, known as The Apologie and Treatise, containing the Voyages made into Divers Places. It was an 'Apologie' because it was written in answer to attacks upon his surgical inno-vations, notably that of the use of the ligature in amputations. The 'Voyages' are his racy accounts of the many cam-paigns in which he took part, with his adventures and surgical experiences. An English text of Par?'s Works was published in London in 1634. The part containing the Apologie and Treatise has been reprinted more than once, but it is many years since any edition was pub-lished, and no part of Par?'s text is now readily available. The present volume is designed to fill this gap, giving the whole.
