New Rare Book: Clendon's Dental Surgery from 1856
The Dentistry Library just received a copy of the 1856 text by J. C. Clendon on dental surgery.
This is an essay describing the reason for basic science education as a foundation for oral surgery and treatment decisions, based on the state of the knowledge at the time. Dr. Clendon was a a physician with membership in the Royal College of Surgeons, specializing in dental and oral surgery.
Since this was a short work, before shelving it in our Rare Book Room, I took a few pictures of the pages for those who are interested in further information about this work.
