Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

Seller's Description:
Small 8vo. Green cloth with gilt lettering. 147pp. Tissue-guarded frontispiece, illustrations. Very good. A tight, decent first edition of this biography of the psychiatry professor turned renowned medical administrator (1843-1927). Interesting twist: From the library of John Oscar Skinner (1845-1932), a contract surgeon with the U.S. Army awarded the Medal of Honor for valor in the Indian Wars in Oregon; he accompanied General Crook into the Navajo-Apache country and served as Geronimo's custodian during that chief's incarceration at Fort Marion, Florida. His blue "Dr J O Skinner / Chambersburg / US Army PA" bookplate graces the front pastedown and he pencils a large question mark alongside a paragraph on page 75 having to do with a comment made by the surgeon-general of the U.S. Army. Interesting copy.
