History of the Massachusetts General Hospital June, 1872 to December, 1900 provides a detailed and authoritative chronicle of one of America's most prestigious medical institutions during a transformative period in healthcare. Written by Grace Whitting Myers, who served as the hospital's long-time librarian, this work meticulously documents the growth, challenges, and innovations that defined the hospital at the close of the 19th century.

The narrative explores the evolution of medical practices, the expansion of hospital facilities, and the development of specialized departments. It highlights the institutional shifts that occurred as medicine transitioned into a more modern, scientifically rigorous field. Readers will find accounts of administrative decisions, the roles of prominent medical figures, and the day-to-day operations that supported patient care in Boston. This volume serves as an essential resource for those interested in the history of medicine, institutional development, and the local history of Massachusetts. By capturing the administrative and clinical milestones of the era, the book preserves the legacy of an institution that remained at the forefront of medical education and public health.
