‎---- PREMIERE EDITION FRANCAISE ---- TRES BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- "BELL studied under the Monros at Edinburgh. He was surgeon to the Royal infirmary, Edinburgh, for 29 years. A System of surgery was produced while Bell was on the staff of the Royal infirmary and is his most famous work. The clarity and precision with which it was written provided a model for later nineteenth century surgical works. He improved the methods of amputation, introducing the triple incision of Bell".
