| Description Of Item | Addressed to William Hamilton. He returns a grooved staff and two cutting instruments used in lithotomy sent to him by Hamilton. He sends a cutting director recommended in his last volume which he prefers to the gorget and asks for Hamilton's opinion. He is finding his book more extensive that he thought. He is working on the third volume and thinks there will be another two. The present volume deals with diseases of the eye and external violence to the brain, the latter being 'the most disagreeable, probably from its being the most uncertain'. |
