Quotation from a review by Friedrich Stuhr on the new edition published by G. Willgeroth in 1929:

“All in all, Willgeroth's medical book is worthy of the three-volume pastor's work published in 1924-25. There are few German states from which such rich genealogical material about the members of these two important professions is available as from Mecklenburg. "
