THIS IS A FACSIMILE OF 1850 FIRST EDITION. 🍍 NOT INCLUDED... 😃 ABOUT THE BOOK: While few early photographs exist of the Harvard Medical School building on North Grove Street, considerable information about the structure and its interior can be found, ironically, in the published transcripts of the 1850 murder trial of John W. Webster (1793-1850). Dr. George Parkman, a noted Boston physician and Harvard benefactor, disappeared on November 23, 1849, and a subsequent search of the premises of the Medical School revealed parts of a human body—including artificial teeth—in the laboratory of Dr. John W. Webster, Harvard’s Erving Professor of Chemistry. Webster was convicted of the murder of Parkman and executed on August 30, 1850. This trial transcript with drawings of the facility give some idea of the small size of Harvard Medical School at this time. The plan of Dr. Webster’s laboratory shows the locations of the tea-chest, furnace, and privy where the remains of George Parkman were discovered. Floorplan of the North Grove Street building from Trial of Professor John W.

This package was literally packed in five different boxes packed with plenty of padding and came all the way from Hawaii to the states in perfect condition as exactly as described. I would highly recommend this seller as they went above and beyond the whole way even wishing me Mahalo in a very sweet note. Wonderful experience from beginning to end.

This book was wrapped so carefully and in so many layers that it took 5 minutes to open it! It is in beautiful condition, exactly as described and was worth every penny. Considering it shipped from the other side of the country it got here in a reasonable amount of time. Couldn’t be happier!
