A commentary of medical and moral life, or, Mind and the emotions, considered in relation to health, disease, and religion. / By William Cooke.
A mid-nineteenth-century London medical treatise by William Cooke, published in 1852 by Longman, Brown and Company, on the mind and emotions in relation to health, disease and religion, held in the St Thomas's Hospital medical school library. The single picture is the library's bookplate: a Baroque cartouche with allegorical female figures flanking a shield, a mask at its base, and the hospital's name in script. A designer could draw on its symmetrical ornamental framing, scrollwork and the classical figures for heraldic or institutional emblem work.
