Knott, John Freeman (1853–1921), surgeon and author, was born 5 June 1853 at Kingsland, near Frenchpark, Co. Roscommon, the only son of William Knott (1798–1887), farmer and bailiff; his mother may have been a daughter of a John Freeman. He was educated at Kingsland national school while also receiving lessons in Latin and Greek from Dean Burke of Boyle.  He excelled at anatomy, headed his class, and was awarded the Mapother prize (1875) and a gold medal by the Pathological Society for a monograph later published as An essay on the pathology of the oesophagus (1878). In May 1877 he took the conjoint diploma of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Ireland. After graduation he visited leading European medical centres before returning to Dublin to take up a resident post at the Richmond hospital while establishing a practice at 34 York St. (1878) and gaining a reputation as a successful ‘medical crammer’. He was appointed fellow of the RCSI (1880) and a member of the RCPI (1881) and subsequently enrolled in the medical school of Dublin University, where he graduated BA (1886), MB (1887), and MD (1889). He was elected MRIA in February 1883 and contributed papers on anatomical abnormalities to its Proceedings in the same year. His medical publications include a third edition of E. D. Mapother's Manual of physiology, and of the principles of disease (1882) and a translation of Eugène Louis Doyen's Operative surgery (1913). In 1910 he moved from York St. to 2 Sallymount Terrace, Ranelagh, where he died 2 January 1921 from influenza. At the time of his death he was said to have owned a large and valuable collection of unique books. 

 MAPOTHER, EDWARD DILLON (1835–1908), surgeon, born at Fairview, near Dublin, on 14 Oct. 1835, was son of Henry Mapother, an official of the Bank of Ireland, and of Mary Lyons, both of co. Roscommon.  In 1857 he graduated M.D. with first honours and gold medal at the Queen's University, Dublin. Before he was nineteen he began to teach anatomy, and with John Morgan (1829-1876) conducted large classes with great success at the Royal College of Surgeons of Ireland. On 30 May 1864 he was elected to the chair of 'Hygiene or political medicine' in the college, which had been vacant since the resignation of Henry Maunsell (1806-1879) in 1846. On 21 February 1867 he succeeded Arthur Jacob [q. v.] as professor of anatomy and physiology. In 1879 he was elected president of the college, and it was largely due to his exertions during his year of office that the dental diploma was instituted, whilst later he took a leading part in the movement which ended in the amalgamation of the Carmichael and Ledwich schools of medicine with that of the college. 

This is a pretty tough book to find in physical format. The only copy I can find anywhere is in the University of Bristol Library but their copy is pretty marked up. This one is not.


I utilize a third party EBAY supplied shipper for international sales. This is part of the Global Shipping Program. Please note the actual shipping cost before purchasing. That is not my shipping fee and I neither receive it nor know what the amount is. I have no control over import fees that may be charged. Please do not commit to "buy it now" until you have seen the shipping amount that you will be charged. Global shipping service does not allow combined shipping from a single seller for items purchased at different times, but I believe that it can be done if you want to purchase multiple items from one seller. I believe that, if you "add to cart" and then do a single "Buy it Now" with the items in the cart, you may be able to combine International Shipping Charges but please confirm this with the Global Shipping Company before finalizing the purchase. Thank you.

PLEASE NOTE: For book sales, I virtually always include a vinyl bag tightly wrapped on the exterior. This is an attempt to prevent any USPS employee from opening the package for inspection as it would be time consuming for them to repackage it. This is done simply because my packaging is done more carefully than their repackaging and also to protect the book from the elements. The vinyl bag covers cardboard protection and you can simply cut the  bag open (carefully) and remove the contents. The cardboard protection is also typically held with tape and cutting in the obvious places will allow the cardboard to pop right open, exposing the book (in another protective vinyl bag). Using this method, you should be able to open any book I send in under a minute. No "buzz saw" is required.  Thank you
