Manuscript extracts from the leading authorities on fractures and dislocations in the early nineteenth century, a few added notes by Beevor. Pp.

Beevor was one of the three hundred original fellows of the Royal College of Surgeons, but did not practice extensivley or leave writings behind. His son, Charles Edward Beevor (1854-1907), however, became quite distinguished in the field of orthopedics. He collaborated with Horsley in an important series of experiments on localisation of movement (1887, G-M 1416.1) and devised "Beevor's test" to detect defective action in muscles (see Keith 120-23). .
