NATHAN RYNO SMITH (1797-1877) Surgical anatomy of the arteries. Toy 1832 104 pp., illus., col. plates. 27.3 cm.

Smith held the chair of surgery at the University of Maryland for fifty years and is best known for the development of an anterior splint for treating fractures of the femur, an apparatus on which he worked for over thirty years. He helped found or edit a number of early American medical periodicals including the American journal of the medical sciences. Surgical anatomy of the arteries is Smith's greatest single work. The plates are copied from the Anatomie de l'homme of Jules Germain Cloquet (see No. 1470).
