Most of the books in Hans Toch’s library are heavily marked up. This makes them worthless monetarily, but a treasure to see what he considered significant in the many classics in his library, including many written by his former students.

The Theology of Medicine: The Political-Philosophical Foundations Of Medical Ethics

MAY CONTAIN MARKUP

By Thomas Szasz

This book is a collection of essays most of which have appeared previously. Many of them, however, were first prepared for lectures and were subsequently published in a shorter version than the original text from which they were excerpted. I have retained the full-length versions of these essays and some of them-for example, "The Ethics of Addiction" and "The Ethics of Suicide"—are published in this form here for the first time. I thank the editors and publishers of the journals and books in which these pieces first appeared for granting permission for their republication; Cynthia Merman of Harper & Row for help with the selection and editing of the essays for publication in book form; and Debbie Murphy, my secretary, for her customarily devoted labors.
