From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dorland's Medical Dictionary was first published in
1890 as the American Illustrated Medical Dictionary
including 770 pages. A pocket edition, called the American
Pocket Medical Dictionary, was first published in 1898
consisting of just over 500 pages.
With the death of the editor William Alexander Newman
Dorland, AM, MD. in 1956, the dictionaries were retitled to
incorporate his name, which was how they had generally come to
be known. The illustrated dictionary has grown to 2200 pages for
the 30th edition.
The most recent version, the 30th edition, is available in
electronic format.
