An interesting little controversy in which the operating surgeon, James Burchall, took issue with White's paper in a letter to Lloyd's Evening Post, on the grounds that White had claimed to be the surgeon, White responds that he did not but that he was responsible for designing the device (some kind of splint) which had saved the patient's arm from being amputated, as Burchall thought would be necessary (injury was a compound fracture of the humerus). This White denies and the argument goes back and forth in the Lloyd's Evening Post and British Chronicle several times with other witnesses entering the fray eventually confirming that Burchall had been in favour of amputation, which he had denied. 13.5 cm x 20.5 cm.
