- Abstract:
- Image caption on page 23 of the book US National Library of Medicine: "Pictured here is detail of the library's inventory item no. 1, The Explanation of Albinus's Anatomical Figures of the Human Skeleton and Muscles, by Bernhard Siegfried Albinus, 1761. George A. Otis gave this book to the library in 1865, when he was working in the Surgeon General's Office, both in the library and in the medical museum, compiling the surgical history of the war. The library's collection had been formally inventoried in 1840, 1864 and 1865. When Billings conducted an inventory in 1867-68, he initiated a numbering system. Each volume held in the collection was assigned a number. This system of enumeration was then continued, after number 6,984 (the last volume of the initial catalogue), for each volume acquired by the library and thereafter served as an accession number."
