Excerpt from A Check List of Incunabula in the Surgeon General's Library, Washington, D. C The following check list of incunabula in the Surgeon General's Library is compiled not only for the convenience of the library, to enable us to state at a glance what it possesses of early printed books, but also in the interest of the students of medical history. The list does not make a pretentious claim to bibhography. Dr. Arnold C. Klebs has in preparation a bibliography of all medical incunabula, including those in our library and those in other American libraries, in which the entries will be given in full. As I have already stated in my paper "on Incunabula," published in the Bulletin of the Medical Library Association, N.S., Vol. V, No. I (July, 1915), the first attempt at listing medical incunabula was made by the late J.Stockton Hough of Trenton, New Jersey.
