The Codification of Medical Morality, the second volume in a two-volume survey of pre-twentieth century modern medical ethics, presents fresh historical research and philosophical analyses of the evolution of medical ethics in nineteenth century America and the development of a different, but parallel, tradition of medical jurisprudence in nineteenth century Britain. These original papers are supplemented by reprints of: the first American Code of medical ethics, the Boston Medical Police of 1808; and an unabridged version of the American Medical Association\'s 1847 Code of Ethics; and the second (1886) edition of Jukes Styrap\'s Code of Ethics - a Code which, although officially rejected by the British Medical Association, nonetheless defined the `done thing\' for British practitioners in the last decades of the nineteenth century.
