An undated from Dr. Walter Jones (endorsed by Jefferson
rec
d. Jan. 8. 07.
) seems to refer to this book. “W. Jones presents his respects to the President, and more distinctly informs him, as well as one perusal of J. Bells work
in octavo, at a distant time permits him; that he thinks the Title is,
Discourses on Surgery--it consists of five or six distinct Tracts, on Aneurism, Gun shot wounds, & other capital Branches of Surgery.--The introductory
discourse contains a very full exposition of his particular doctrines in the art, fortified or illustrated by a good deal
of learning & criticism.”
