"The Harvard Classics Volume 38" by Various is a scholarly anthology of significant historical scientific papers related to physiology, medicine, surgery, and geology, compiled in the early 20th century. This volume includes foundational texts such as the "Oath of Hippocrates" and seminal works from figures like William Harvey and Louis Pasteur, highlighting the evolution of medical and scientific thought from ancient times to modernity. At the start of the volume, the "Oath of Hippocrates" is presented, elucidating the ethical standards expected of physicians, establishing the groundwork for medical professionalism. The introductory note provides context about Hippocrates and his contributions, while subsequent sections introduce pivotal works by other prominent figures, including the principles of surgery from Ambroise Paré and essential developments in vaccination and germ theory by Edward Jenner and Louis Pasteur. The opening portion establishes a rich historical tapestry, illustrating how early medical and scientific principles continue to influence contemporary practice.
