Behind every prescription lies a life, a place, a struggle for knowledge. Every practitioner here has stories. In The Medical Annals of Maryland, 1799-1899, distinguished physician-historian Eugene Fauntleroy Cordell gathers a century of medical lives into a single, authoritative record. Prepared for the centennial of the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland, it traces the development of medical practice and the history of medical education across the state, from early nineteenth century Maryland medicine to the dawn of modern scientific care. Biographical sketches of physicians, surgeons and founders of Baltimore and Maryland hospitals sit alongside portraits of evolving institutions and a richly detailed Maryland medical society history, creating an indispensable medical history reference and physician biography collection. For researchers, students and general readers, Cordell's meticulous chronicle is a resource for medical historians and a valuable genealogy source for Maryland families, preserving thousands of names, careers and local connections. It opens a vivid window onto the history of American medicine as seen through one state's practitioners, revealing how they organised, taught, argued and cared for their communities. Casual readers gain an accessible panorama of doctors' lives and professional ideals; collectors gain a cornerstone work in the literature of regional medicine and medical organization history, with unmatched coverage of nineteenth century Maryland medicine, Maryland physicians biographies and institutional life. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
