Joseph Lister became Professor of Surgery at Glascow, Edinburgh, and King's College London. He was the first medical man in Britain to be raised to a peerage. The founder of the 'antiseptic principle', his work had a profound effect upon modern surgery and obstetrics. Because Baron Lister never wrote any books, his collected papers remain his lasting monument. These volumes contain all the papers and addresses which Lister considered to be of permanent interest and importance, and were published as part of a celebration of his eightieth birthday. Lister is the namesake for the commercial product Listerine, which originally was a surgical antiseptic and is now a mouthwash.
