Anderson was Head Laboratory Assistant at the National Hospital, Queen Square, for Diseases of the Nervous System.

Böhm was Prosektor at the Anatomical Institute in Munich.
An important book in the history of oncology. "'With this book the microscopical epoch in the evolution of the knowledge of cancer may be said to have been brought to a close' (Haagensen)" [GM 2625].
Haymaker & Schiller, pages 116-119. The great study of cerbral blood supply and arterial infarctions by the leading expert of the time. Foix and his colleagues established histologically in 1921 in the substantia nigra the lesions considered specific for Parkinsonism.
An important early histological manual. Professor of Medicine in Zurich, Frey had studied with R. Wagner & Schönlein. His 1863 book on microscopy (8th and last edition in 1886) is lauded by Bracegirdle as the first important German microscopical book (p. 43).

The Irish translator was Surgeon to the City of Dublin Hospital and Demonstrator of Anatomy at the the Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland.
"This book sums up the life work of Gaskell, who laid the histological foundation of the modern study of the autonomic nervous system" [GM 1331].
The last revised edition. Much less common than the 1933 edition published as a trade book. Hassin was the first editor of the Journal of Neuropathology and Experimental Neurology.
Born in Hungary, Heitzman was lecturer in morbid anatomy at the University of Vienna; emigrating to New York in 1874 he later took up dermatology and became a founding member of the American Dermatological Association.An early American work on cytology and histology, surveying the current state of knowledge of cell theory as revealed by microscopical techniques. Contains chapters by Frank Abbott, H. G. Beyer, C. F. W. Böddecker, J. C. Davis, Louis Elsberg, J. Baxter Emerson, J. W. Frankl, and others.
With a new 11 page preface for the 6th edition.
Horner was Professor of Anatomy in the University of Pennsylvania His 1829 A Treatise on Pathological Anatomy was the first American work on the subject (GM 2287); in 1824 he described the tensor tarsi (Horner's) muscle, supplying the lacrimal apparatus (GM 1494).
Jordan was professor of histology and embryology at the University of Virginia.
GM-5 #546; DSB VII: 437-440. The first textbook of histology and "a landmark in the history of anatomy and biology. It went through six editions and was translated into English, French and Italian" [Ralph Major's History of Medicine 2: 884]. Da Costa was in the process of translating the book when he learned that the Syndenham edition was being published, so he used the British translation, adding the notes he had prepared for his own translation. Da Costa's 1871 paper "On Irritable Heart: A Clinical Study of a Form of Functional Cardiac Disorder and its Consequences" was the second description of "soldier's heart" or "effort syndrome." Though first described by Myers the year before, the syndrome became known as Da Costa's syndrome."[O]ne of the first to utilize the cellular elements of tissue structure descriptively[, ] … Kölliker's breakthrough "lay in presenting the study of tissue in terms of the cell theory" [DSB VII: 438]. Müller, Virchow, Schleiden, and Kölliker might together be construed as the mid-19th century architects of the scaffolding of modern medicine.
Boerner was Professor of Medicine at Temple University and Head of the Department of Pathology & Bacteriology, Research Institute of Cutaneous Medicine; Garber was Associate in Pathology, Peking Union Medical College.
See GM-5 #2018 for Landois' paper on the haemolysing effect of blood erum of one species when transfused with another.
GM-5 1291 & 1422 (both Nissl's paper). The first description of Nissl's stain. Also contains Flechsig's "Ueber ein neues Eintheilungsprinzip der Grosshirn-Oberfläche" (pp. 674-76). Nissl's paper is pages 683-865 with 7 text woodcuts.
Orth was Professor of General Pathology and Pathological Anatomy and Director of the Pathological Institute at Göttingen.
Quekett's 1848 book on microscopy was "the first major work on object preparation in any language" [Bracegirdle, p. 32]. Quekett's lectures on histology are to modern eyes "a curious blend of plant and animal histology, omitting many of the now usual tissues. They were, however, based on his splendid series of preparations, some of which are still to be seen in the Hunerian Museum. This collection was probably the most extensive in the wold by the 1850s; Kölliker stated that it ranked with the Hyrtl collection of injections in Vienna, with the collection of injections and some sections in Utrecht, and with the London collection of Tomes (teeth) and Carpenter (hard tissues of the lower animals). In fact, this was probably an understatement of its importance, in spite of the fact that the interest and industry of one individual alone was responsible for its creation" [Bracegirdle, A History of Microtechnique, pp. 313-315]. Quekett was by 1854 Resident Conservator [in 1852 just Assistant Conservator] of the Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, and Professor of Histology.
Rio-Hortega worked in Cajal's laboratory in Madrid, from which he resigned over a dispute with Cajal over the interpretation to be given to the cells that Rio-Hortega called "microglia" or "oligodendroglia." Subsequently he became Director of the Instituto de Oncologia in Madrid. This monograph on the microscopic anatomy of tumors of the central and peripheral nervous system, first published in 1933 in the proceedings of the Congresso Internacional lucha científica y social contra el cáncer was the foundation work for the interpretation and study of nervous system tumors by the silver methods.

Schröder was Professor of Psychiatry and Neurology in Greifswald.
Sharpey-Schäfer's first book.
Born Edward Schäfer, adding 'Sharpey' to his surname after the death of his son, whom he had named after the physiologist William Sharpey. From 1883 to 1899 he was Jodrell Professor of Physiology at University College, London, and professor of physiology at Edinburgh from 1899. His standard textbook Essentials of Histology, first published in 1885, went through 12 editions. With George Oliver he demonstrated in 1895 the pressor effects of extracts of the adrenal glandsÄÄa momentous discovery in the history of endocrinology.
Professor of physiology at Edinburgh from 1899, Sharpey-Schäfer (as he is better known) first published this standard textbook in 1885. It went through 12 editions. In 1895 he demonstrated with George Oliver the pressor effects of extracts of the adrenal glands—a momentous discovery in the history of endocrinology.
An extremely ambitious book-publishing project for the time with lovely large-size photomicrographs, done by Leaming, who was Instructor in Photography at the College of Physicians and Surgeons. Strong, then tutor in biology at Columbia, went on to become professor of neurology. An important American neurologist, Starr authored in 1893 the first American book on neurosurgery and in 1903 a standard neurological textbook (see the brief account in DeJong's History of American Neurology).
A standard period textbook, of which the fifth and final edition in English appeared in 1903, translated from the 10th German edition. An amazingly long-lived textbook, the 30th German edition of which, edited by Wilhelm v. Möllendorff, appeared in 1969. Schaper was professor of anatomy, University of Breslau; Bilstein had formerly been director of the laboratories of histology & embryology, Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania.

Entirely devoted to the microscopic anatomy of the human brain with sections on the metencephalon (Nachhirn), hindbrain (Hinterhirn), the pons (Brücke), and the cerebellum (Kleinhirn). The first volume, published 1899-1903, was largely devoted to macroscopic anatomy. The two volumes were originally issued in a six Lieferungen from 1899 to 1934 (we've never had it in original parts).Return to Gach Books home pageThe completion of Ziehen's encyclopedic survey of brain anatomy, published over 35 years. Ziehen and the co-workers in his various laboratories produced much work of fundamental importance. Ziehen himself, who received his MD from the University of Berlin in 1885, is a complex and hard-to-pigeonhole figure. He may be the only writer of his time who made noteworthy contributions to neuroscience, psychology, psychiatry, pedagogy, and philosophy. He was at Jena from 1900-1903; Utrecht 1903-4; Halle 1904-12; and Berlin 1917-1930. The University of Berlin awarded him an honorary PhD in 1910.
