An Account of the Remedy for the Stone Lately Published in England

Wellcome Collection catalog record (work p8ck5yk8) confirmed by direct fetch: Public Domain Mark; date 1741; publisher H. Woodfall for J. Roberts, London; translator/editor Richard Gem of the University of Cambridge. Digitized as Internet Archive item b30348808 with Wellcome Library funding; the title page itself (directly inspected) reads 'AN ACCOUNT OF THE REMEDY for the STONE, LATELY Published in England, according to an Act of Parliament, assigning a Reward of 5000 l. to the Discoverer. Extracted from the EXAMINATIONS of this Remedy, given into the Royal Academy of Sciences at Paris, by M. Morand, and M. Geoffroy; appointed, as Members of that Academy, to examine the same. By RICHARD GEM, of the University of Cambridge... LONDON: Printed by H. WOODFALL... 1741. Price One Shilling.' The title page names only 'M. Morand' and 'M. Geoffroy'; their full names (Sauveur-Francois Morand, Claude-Joseph Geoffroy) are standard period-medical-history identifications and are not themselves asserted by this page. Illustrates the case (media asset: this pamphlet's title page) and is the primary-document basis for the fact that the Royal Academy of Sciences at Paris, through Morand and Geoffroy, examined the remedy and had its examination published in English translation in 1741; the title page itself reports only that the examination took place, not its substantive findings, so this bundle does not characterize the Academy's specific results beyond what the title page and this case's other cited sources establish.
