Manuskript / Papierantiquität Signiert
12mo, 4 pp. Bifolium. 32 lines. Text clear and complete. Fair, on aged paper. In answer to a request for autographs, she has 'some duplicates somewhere, but tonight I send you only three cards', as she has 'no letters of Miss Yonge that I should like to part with'. She names the authors of the 'three signed postcards' (not present) as: James Payne ('Editor of Cornhill, author of many novels'), Charlotte Yonge and Richard Monckton Milnes, Lord Houghton. Of the last she writes: 'I could not spare anything else of his, - & if you have another signature please let me have it back again - as also - the envelope - for that is also written by one who is dead - Hugh Conway - author of Called Back, etc. An envelope is better than nothing at all, I think.' She thinks it unlikely that Parker will be able to read the two men's cards, but assures him that 'they have written much more illegibly than they have done in these specimens!'.

This is a rare and important work in the field of neurosurgery, being a detailed account of the successful treatment of a head injury so severe that part of the brain was protruding, offered as evidence that such wounds are not invariably fatal. Yonge (1646/47-1721) was apprenticed to a naval surgeon at the age of 12 and was serving as a ship's surgeon for the Newfoundland fishing fleet by age 18. He retired from sea duties, which had included being aboard a naval ship in wartime, and set up practice in Plymouth at age 25, working as surgeon to the naval hospital there. He was appointed deputy surgeon-general of the navy in 1674. Yonge kept journals recording his cases, and began publishing reports of significant and successful treatments and innovations. According to the Dictionary of Canadian Biography, "His introduction into surgery of the 'flap technique' in amputating a limb is recorded in his book 'Currus triumphalis e terebinthe' (1679)." It was while practicing in Plymouth in 1679 that he was called to treat a four-year-old boy who had suffered a compound fracture of the skull when a heavy gate fell on him. Yonge proceeded to remove splinters of the skull and performed several operations to lift the caved-in portions, applying clysters and plasters (for which he gives recipes) to protect and heal the wound, along with "juleps" given orally. All are reported in sufficient detail to allow another practitioner to follow the treatment protocol. The child recovered, defying the widely held belief that such wounds meant certain death. This is a very scarce publication: ABPC and RBH record just three other copies at auction since 1970.
