Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the American Medical Association: From Its Organization Up to January 1855
This work had its origin in a desire to interest the mass of the profession in one of the most important social organizations that exist in our land. On the part of the author, it has been a labor of love, having been undertaken at the earnest request of the undersigned, solely with the desire of aiding the cause of medical progress.
The profession owes Dr. Davis a debt of gratitude for his dis interested and arduous labors in compiling this important history, and it is to be hoped that he will be amply repaid, in the con tinned prosperity and success of a movement, of which he is both the originator and historiographer.
Most of the illustrations of the work were engraved expressly for the undersigned, at the establishment of John M. Butler, of Philadelphia. The biographical sketches, with the exception of that of the late Dr. Chapman, were prepared by intimate friends of the individuals of whom they are the subject.
