Excerpt from Manual of Orthopedic Surgery, Being a Dissertation Which Obtained the Boylston Prize for 1844, on the Following Question

The works I have consulted in writing the following Dissertation, are chieﬂy those of Guerin, Bonnet, Vel peau, Phillips, Duval and Little; especially the bro chures Of the former, who has been for some time, the leading French orthopedist.

The writings of M. Guerin may be fairly criticised both for the wordiness and Obscurity of their style, and for their unnecessary bulk but it does not appear that we have any right to question the accuracy of their statements. On the contrary, we may infer from the late report of the committee appointed by the Academy of Medicine to investigate this point, that there is no ground for supposing the evidence in any way warped or misrepresented.
