Author Description

Excerpt from Club-Foot: Its Causes, Pathology, and Treatment, Being an Essay to Which the Jacksonian Prize for 1864, Given by the Royal College of Surgeons, Was Awarded In writing a competitive essay, the necessity of concealing the Authorship must be a primary consideration whilst at the same time it is impossible to avoid reference to any original observa tions and researches Which the Author may have made. In the essay when subsequently published as a monograph, the right to claim any such observations and researches must be ac knowledged; and in the exercise of this privilege, I have limited myself to making such alterations only as appeared to be necessary. For the purpose of further illustrating the subject, I have added in an Appendix a series of cases affording well marked examples of the several varieties of club-foot and contractions described in the Essay.
