APPENDIX
CATALOGUE OF THE LIBRARY OF THE
CHINA MEDICO-CHIRURGICAL SOCIETY
This is an attempt to revise the "Catalogue of books” on p. 78-79 of the Transactions in accordance with modern cataloguing practice. The list has been divided into two sections, books and periodicals, each arranged alphabetically.
The listing of books in the form given in the original catalogue is shown in quotation marks following each entry, except where it has proved impossible to identify the item, in which case this is shown first. As is usual in such lists, author's names were given inaccurately or not at all, whilst titles were frequently abbreviated or translated without any indication that this was done. Consequently some of the identifications are uncertain. Dates of publication were not given for any of the books, and those supplied here are tentative when there was more than one edition. Nevertheless only three out of fourteen titles remain unidentified
Periodicals present less difficulties of identification, but it is rarely possible from the details given to provide an accurate record of holdings. No distinction appears to have been made between volumes and parts, e.g. April and July issues of the Medico-chirurgical review are described as 2 volumes; whilst the Lancet for 1825-26, 1827-28, 1829-30 and 1838-39 is described as 4 volumes. All that can safely be said is that 24 titles were represented, in some cases by a few scattered issues, in others by continuous runs of several years. Out of this total only 2 titles have not been confirmed from other sources.
“AUSCAUX on bandaging"
BOOKS
No such author appears in the catalogues of the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris, the British Museum, or the Surgeon-General, Washington. A possible (though doubtful) identification is:
DUCROS, C. Du bandage dextriné dans le traitement des fractures.
Paris, 1840.
