Boston Med. Surg. J., 36/ 7. - Boston, David Clapp, Wednesday, March 17, 1847, 8°, pp.129-148, fine wrappers. First Edition! "Tuesday, 3d inst., being the concluding day of the course, Dr. Warren gave his last lecture to the Medical School. In consequence of a report, that upon this occasion he would take final leave, a numerous audience, consisting, besides medical students, of the medical faculty, many physicians, and a number of gentlemen of the other professions, were assembled to listen to the last words from the lips of the distinguished professor, upon resigning the chair so honorably occupied by him for forty years. The address not being written, but altogether oral, cannot be given at length, but we have obtained notes of some of the principal topics, which so far as they extend can be considered accurate." "Warren was a tremendously accomplished clinician and academic, part of a storied family dynasty of doctors who played a prominent role at the MGH and in medical science.29 His extensive personal papers, preserved at the Countway Library of Medicine, are available to researchers. His prominent role in the discovery of anesthesia has been widely and deservedly recognized, both by the MGH and by historians. However, the 2 public procedures that clearly demonstrated ether's ability to produce insensibility to pain during a serious surgical operation were performed not by Warren but by Hayward." Paul G. Firth: Ether Day Revisited / The Surgical Records of Edward Gilbert Abbott. Ann Surg Open., 3/2 (2022).
