The medical profession in the United Kingdom.

Dublin: Fannin & Co. & London: Longmans, Green & Co., 1888.

(1200pp.) This is the greatly expanded edition of the book first published with the same title nine years earlier. "His most important and voluminous writings were the two Carmichael Prize essays of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, the one published in 1879 and the other in 1888. The subject of both was same, namely 'The Medical Profession,' and they dealt with the history of the profession from the earliest times until the date of publication. They form perhaps the only complete account of the history, development, character, and laws relating to the medical profession in existence, and the essay bearing the date 1887 is characterized by the most extreme historical and verbal accuracy" (The Lancet, May 15, 1887, pp. 1380-1381.)
