Synopsis
Some Account Of The Letheon: Or, who Is The Discoverer? by Edward Warren. This historical pamphlet collects claims, documentary evidence, and contemporaneous testimony surrounding the discovery of the Letheon (the use of ether as an anesthetic) and the ensuing dispute over credit and patents. The text presents histories of the original discovery, then assembles correspondence, affidavits, and public notices from figures such as Morton, Jackson, Wells, and various surgeons and editors. It includes prefatory remarks, discussions of hospital demonstrations at the Massachusetts General Hospital, and extensive appendices with statements from J. Mason Warren, George Hayward, Augustus Gould, Caleb Eddy, and R. H. Eddy, among others. Warren frames the work as a pursuit of truth and justice, not pecuniary gain, and seeks to establish Morton as the rightful discoverer while acknowledging rival claims and the public controversy that followed. The volume also critiques the propriety of publications and the ethics of scientific credit, offering a detailed archive of dates, testimonies, and correspondence that illuminate mid-19th-century medical invention and its sensational reception.
