Book Overview

Selected Monographs: Kussmaul And Tenner, Wagner, And Graefe�������s Three Memoirs (1859) is a collection of essays by Albrecht Von Graefe, a renowned German ophthalmologist and founder of the Berlin University Eye Clinic. The book features four seminal works, including two co-authored by Graefe, that explore various aspects of ophthalmology and medicine in the mid-19th century.The first monograph, written in collaboration with Franz Kussmaul and Theodor Tenner, focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the nervous system, particularly those that affect the eyes. The authors discuss a range of topics, from the role of the optic nerve in vision to the use of electrical stimulation to diagnose neurological disorders.The second monograph, authored by Graefe himself, examines the life and work of Richard Wagner, the famous German composer. Graefe, a personal friend of Wagner, offers a unique perspective on the artist's creative process, musical innovations, and controversial personal life.The final three memoirs, also written by Graefe, delve into the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases, including cataracts, glaucoma, and retinal detachment. Graefe's groundbreaking research and surgical techniques helped to revolutionize the field of ophthalmology and establish him as one of the most influential figures in the history of medicine.Overall, Selected Monographs: Kussmaul And Tenner, Wagner, And Graefe�������s Three Memoirs (1859) offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of 19th-century medicine, as seen through the eyes of one of its most brilliant practitioners.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
