It was first published in 1927 as the Textbook of Medicine, by Russell LaFayette Cecil.[2][3] In the United States, it is a prominent and widely consulted medical textbook.[3] Cecil Medicine is often compared with Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine, which it predates by three decades.[3] Approximately one third of its authors are changed with each new edition.[4]

We used the Cecil Textbook of Medicine, which dates back to 1927 and is one of the most prominent and widely-consulted (by both students and practitioners of medicine) medical textbooks in the US. We also considered Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine, another popular US text, but chose Cecil because it predates Harrison's by three decades.
