Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Extracted from the Transactions of the Royal Irish Academy. Vol. XIII. 4to. pp. 129-152. Modern quarter dark brown cloth, marbled boards, gilt-stamped spine label. Fine. In this paper Wallace describes in detail his views on the structure and growth of the cranium. Wallace, William (1791—1837), surgeon, dermatologist, and venereologist, was born in Downpatrick, Co. Down, son of a solicitor. He is arguably the leading figure in the history of dermatology in Ireland. Apprenticed (1808) to Charles Bowden, a Dublin surgeon, he transferred after his master's death (1810) to Charles Hawkes Todd (qv), who was on the staffs of the Richmond and the Lock Hospitals, where his apprentices saw the manifestations of syphilis and other venereal infections in abundance. He acted as house-surgeon at both hospitals, becoming dedicated to dermatology. He took the letters testimonial of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland on 13 June 1813, proceeding MRCSI (equivalent to the later FRCSI) two years later. In London he was a pupil of Thomas Bateman (1778—1821), an established dermatologist, and clinical clerk to Dr Laird at Guy's Hospital. He spent some time, too, with Sir Astley Cooper and John Abernethy (1764—1831). Wallace returned to Dublin in 1817, and in the following year opened the Dublin Infirmary for Diseases of the Skin at 20 Moore St. He advocated potassium iodide as useful therapy for syphilitic lesions. Appointed surgeon to the Charitable Infirmary in Jervis St. (1819), he does not seem to have been an easy colleague. His row with the surgeon James O'Beirne was reported by the medical board to the management committee; both surgeons were admonished for unprofessional behaviour. It appears that in O'Beirne's absence one of his postoperative cases had died, and the surgeon attributed the death to neglect on the part of his junior, who in turn maintained that the operation should never have been performed. Their altercation took place in public, and in the presence of patients. In March 1824 Wallace reported the apothecary and the housekeeper to the Charitable Infirmary's board of management because there was no lint or tow. He complained, too, of the lack of leeches and the dirtiness of the beds and wards. — Dictionary of Irish Biography.…
