Maiden (William). An Account of a Case of Recovery, After the Shaft of a Chaise Had Been Forced Through the Thorax, To Which is Now Added a Statement of the Health of the Sufferer from the Period of His Recovery, Until His Decease, with the Appearances of the Injured Parts after Death, 1824, four engraved plates including a plan showing the scene of the incident, library stamp to title and each plate, some spotting, original cloth-backed marbled boards, edges rubbed and frayed on spine with upper cover near-detached, folio (350 x 250mm). William Maiden (1768-1845) was the surgeon who treated Mr Thomas Tipple, a gentleman who had received a severe chest injury through being impaled by the shaft of a chaise, in 1812. Mr Tipple recovered and lived for a further ten years. Maiden published the details of the case due to the disbelief from the medical profession that a patient could survive such an injury. After Mr Tipple’s death, his widow requested the body to be examined. The post-mortem was carried out by Sir William Blizzard, William Clift, Harkness and J.W.K. Parkinson. The anterior wall of the chest of Mr Tipple and the shaft itself were presented to the Royal College of Surgeons Museum by William Maiden in 1823. They were destroyed by enemy action in May 1941. (1)

* Jenner (Edward, 1749-1823). Autograph letter signed ‘Edw. Jenner’, Berkeley, 9 February 1821, to James White, veterinary surgeon, 19 Vineyards, Bath, on the subject of vaccination, in full ‘I am happy to find that you are so actively engaged in the physiological pursuits connected with the diseases of animals. It would be pleasing to me to ascertain that you are speaking experimentally on the application of grease [horse-pox], but the mere matter of grease has failed repeatedly in my hands; the matter of the vesicles by which the grease is according to my observation primarily excited has had however the contrary effect. I have now under my own use and in circulation matter which was taken from the finger of a farrier that never passed through the circulation of a cow. It produces beautiful pustules, although it has been in use nearly 3 years. When matter becomes deteriorated it is in conseq[uence] of passing through a constitution contamin[ated] by the influence of the herpetic fluid. The enclosed circular will tell you what I mean by this. The same phenomena of what is vulgarly called cowpox, for equine pox, has been produced by handling a horse which had the pole-evil. Has it ever been considered that the submaxillary glands are otherwise than salivary glands, as in the human subject? I shall be happy to hear your further observations on this subject, at present they are at issue. That sheep in a meadow which have foot-rot, will leave a particular something which shall communicate it to another flock, and even to other animals put in the same pasture I have often observed; but how does it happen that a hunter in a stable badly groomed get oedematous legs and grease also? Now I would ask whether this disease called grease, and thus generated as superficially supported does not differ from the infectious disease? I had long wished to make exps. whether my notions are correct but from want of due assistance, I have never been able to accomplish my investigations in this and many other things. I have known cow pox on the teat of a ewe, but that instance excepted, I have never remarked any other source, except from the horse to the cow or primarily from one infected cow to another secondarily. I should doubt there is a fallacy about the swallowing exps. for smallp. virus has been given 50 times with bread without effect. When I have the pleasure of seeing you we will go further into this subject. With the cows I can speak without hesitation that the pock can only be produced by absolute contact. Have you gone into the origin of the two common diseases red-water in the cow and string-halt in horses. These I have taken great pains to investigate and I am happy to say with success. I am sorry to say that in many instances I have traced the latter to an incurable origin. I do not wish these crude observations to appear in print. I hope you will be able to fulfill yr. visit to this neighbourhood, as I shall be glad to have an interview with you. Excuse my troubling you with more questions but have you made any satisfactory researches into the origin of farcy?’, written in a neat legible hand to the integral blank of Jenner’s own printed two-page circular letter [January 1821], completing both sides of the blank leaf with address panel and three faint postal strikes for Wells, Dursley penny post and Berkeley, the final six lines and signature appearing at the foot of the second printed page, the signature close to lower margin with some minor fraying and archival tissue repair to verso, a few other minor marginal splits and spotting and seal tear with loss affecting two words (noted in square brackets) without loss of sense, 4 pp, 4to (250 x 203mm), loosely preserved in an old gilt-titled cloth folder, rubbed, 4to. The circular letter which has no title or heading is cited at LeFanu 96, identifying three copies, the copy here plus two copies at the Wellcome Institute, one with an autograph letter to Miss Cox, Painswick. LeFanu 96a identifies two variant copies without the printed formal ending to the letter. ‘During the great epidemic of 1816-19, which was most severe in 1818, smallpox spread to many who had previously not been inoculated with smallpox or cow-pox. Jenner believed that improper vaccination was the main cause of these apparent re-infections. He assumed, correctly, that the failure of inoculated cowpox to take its proper course was frequently overlooked, and decided that the warning which he had reiterated since 1804 must be generally known. He printed a circular letter in 1821 pointing out this fact and asking for information about their experience from his professional colleagues. He sent out copies of his letter, often with written additions in his own hand, and he had its text inserted in the medical journals and the lay press. It had also translated into German’ (LeFanu pp 79-80). Jenner’s correspondent here, James White, refers to his correspondence with Jenner in Compendious Dictionary of the Veterinary Art, 2nd edition, greatly enlarged (1830): See entries for Heart, Red Water and String-Halt. Provenance: Presented to the BMI in 1884 (by Sir Willoughby Wade) and duly noted with full transcription of both the circular letter and Jenner’s autograph letter to White in The Birmingham Medical Review, volume 16 (July-December, 1884), pp 139-142.

Bright (Richard). Reports of Medical Cases, Selected with a View of Illustrating the Symptoms and Cure of Diseases by a Reference to Morbid Anatomy, 2 volumes in three, 1st edition, 1827-31, 47 hand-coloured engraved plates, 7 uncoloured plates, volume I title repaired, scattered light spotting and light marginal water stains (mainly to uncoloured plates), a few plates close-trimmed, library stamps, contemporary mottled calf, rebacked, edges rubbed, 4to. ‘Although the name of Bright is perpetuated by his classic description of chronic non-suppurative nephritis, known eponymically as ‘Bright’s disease’, the Reports contain numerous other outstanding contributions to general pathology, neuropathology, as well as nephrology. Bright differentiated renal from cardiac dropsy (oedema) and was first to correlate this and the previously observed albuminuria with the nephritic changes observed at autopsy’ (G-M 2285; 4206). ‘The second volume, divided into two parts, is entirely devoted to neuropathology, and contains detailed case histories illustrating brain tumors, hydrocephalus, ruptured intercranial aneurysm, hysteria, epilepsy, post-traumatic necrosis of the tips of the front and temporal lobes, and staining of the meninges in jaundice, as well as many other examples of congenital, neoplastic, infectious and vascular diseases of the brain. The work’s engraved plates, meticulously hand-colored to accord with Bright’s descriptions of the specimens examined, are among the most beautiful of medical illustrations. Most were drawn by Frederick Richard Say, a distinguished portraitist whose painting of Bright now hangs in the Royal College of Physicians of London’ (Norman 341). (3)
