WOODALL (JOHN)
Footnotes
The Surgeon's Mate was first published in 1617, and this 1639 edition is the first collected edition of Woodall's works, including additional treatises on the plague and gangrene. It "was made required reading for all naval surgeons in the East India Company" (Garrison & Morton).
Provenance: Ferdinando Marsham, early ownership inscription with price '9.s.'. It seems likely that this Marsham was the one recorded as Esquire to the Body to both Charles I and Charles II.
