(MacHenry) ---- Heirs of Hippocrates N° 1833 : "Although Polish by birth, Hirschfeld spent a great part of his professional life in France, where he was professor of anatomy on the Paris Faculty of Medicine. In 1859 he was appointed professor of anatomy descriptive on the faculty of medicine at Warsaw where he completed his career. The extensive study of neuroanatomy during the latter half of the nineteenth century resulted in a plethora of atlases of the nervous system. The exquisite plates included in this comprehensive work were drawn by J.B. Léveillé and are some of the most detailed of the time"**2684/G1‎
