These two volumes were presented to the Wellcome Institute Library in 1972: according to the Accession Register 'by the author', but this is hardly possible, unless they had in fact been presented at some earlier date and only accessioned then. They were transferred to the Contemporary Medical Archives Centre in 1980.
