An introduction to electricity and galvanism; with cases, shewing their effects in the cure of diseases: to which is added, a description of Mr. Cuthbertson s plate electrical machine. London: A. Phillips., 1803. FIRST EDITION. 8 vo. Orig. boar…ds, uncut, rebacked. viii, 112 pp. Three folding engraved plates. Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland rubberstamp on title. A very good copy. G-M 1989: "One of the first works in the English language entirely devoted to medical electricity." In addition to the medical interest, Carpue s book describes and illustrates (plates 1 & 2) John Cuthbertson s third pattern glass plate electrical machine. This presentation (Carpue was the first to name this generator after Cuthbertson) is nearly identical to that later published by Cuthbertson in his book 'Practical electricity' (1807). This type of electrical machine, probably designed in London in 1797 or 1798, remained popular well into the 19th century. Carpue is best known for his contribution to plastic surgery, G-M 5737. W.
