Medical Works
Jonathan Hutchinson, whose fruitful work in many fields of medicine won for him enduring renown. Yet other notable names in the Catalogue are those of Sir Patrick Manson, the veteran authority on tropical medicine; Sir Henry Morris, sometime President of the Royal College of Surgeons; Sir George Newman and Sir Arthur Whitelegge, eminent for the service they have done the State in hygiene and public health; Sir George Savage, the alienist; Sir John Bland-Sutton, a leading authority on tumours; Sir Alfred Pearce Gould, Dr. Mitchell Bruce, Dr. William Hunter, Dr. Robert Hutchison, and Dr. Luff. More recent additions are the names of Lord Dawson of Penn, the first practising physician to be made a peer; Sir StClair Thomson, Sir Robert Jones, Dr. Raymond Crawfurd, Professor Dreyer, of Oxford, Professor Sir Arthur Keith, and Sir John Thomson Walker, among others.
In catering for medical men the House has not forgotten the claims of their loyal helpers, the nurses. Besides publishing many separate books on nursing subjects it has produced for the Waverley Book Company, under the title of "The Science and Art of Nursing," the only encyclopaedia for nurses ever issued, written by medical men and a large staff of nurses.
The well-known Manuals of the British Red Cross Society may be regarded as occupying a position midway between Cassell's medical works and those which make their appeal to the general public. Of these Manuals, four by medical authors have now been published; three of them, the First Aid, Nursing and Training Manuals, are from the pen of Sir James Canthe, the fourth, on Hygiene and Sanitation, is the work of Major-General Guise Moores, of the A.M.S. The British Red Cross Society, which now works in alliance with the St. John Ambulance Association, was inaugurated under Royal auspices in 190."), and it was to facilitate the training of its members in ambulance work, nursing, sanitation, etc., that the Society promoted these Manuals, of which hundreds of thousands of copies have been sold.
