The Reports chronicle a wide range of pediatric disease with many examples of the ravages of infectious diseases now prevented by immunization tumors and malformations including congenital heart disease. There is a long discussion of "sudden and unexpected death in children" "delayed chloroform poisoning" following anesthesia and paralysis treated with muscle grafting. Dr. Stephenson's expertise in ophthalmology is responsible for numerous illustrations of funduscopic images of various systemic diseases. This is remarkable as the first fundus camera was not developed until 1926.

He made seminal contributions in the study of ophthalmia neonatorum summarized in his book of that title. He founded with George Carpenter the Society for the Study of Disease in Children and when the amalgamation of multiple societies resulted in the formation of the Royal Society of Medicine it became one of the constituent sections. GEORGE ALFRED CARPENTER 1859 – 1910 was an English pediatrician who described the Carpenter Syndrome. He earned his M.D. in London and became physician to the Queen's Hospital for Children. In 1900 he founded with Sydney Stephenson the Society for the Study of Disease in Children the first British society of its kind and compiled eight volumes of Reports offered here. When the society was incorporated in the Royal Society of Medicine in 1908 and became the section for the study of disease in children he was elected its president.

Printed by Eugene Verneau. With the Blind stamp of L'estampe Originale. Stein and Karshan 14. Slightly mat burned in the margins but colors are excellent as original. One of the most important artists together with Pierre Roche to use gypsography in the 1890s. The process involves using plaster moulds and hand-colored damp paper to create the image after which ink is applied directly to the mould as with a wood-engraving. Later he replaced the plaster moulds with metal to achieve more detail in the relief. He used the method in book form for the first time here. The effect is one of medals set within the typographic layout L'Estampe Originale

Light browning to pages unmarked very good WILLIAM BENJAMIN CARPENTER 1813 - 1885 was an English physician invertebrate zoologist and physiologist. He was instrumental in the early stages of the unified University of London. He attended medical classes at University College London 1834-35 and then went to the University of Edinburgh 1835-39 where he received his MD in 1839. His work in comparative neurology was recognized in 1844 by his election as a Fellow of the Royal Society. His appointment as Fullerian Professor of Physiology at the Royal Institution in 1845 enabled him to exhibit his powers as a teacher and lecturer. He worked hard as investigator author editor demonstrator and lecturer throughout his life; but it was his researches in marine zoology notably in the "lower" organisms as Foraminifera and Crinoids that were most valuable a beautiful example offered here. These researches gave an impetus to deep-sea exploration an outcome of which was in 1868 the oceanographic survey with HMS Lightning and later the more famous Challenger Expedition. He was an adept in the use of the microscope and his popular treatise on it stimulated many to explore this new aid. He was awarded the Royal Medal in 1861. In 1856 Carpenter became Registrar of the University of London and held the office for twenty-three years. Carpenter gave qualified support to Darwin but he had reservations as to the application of evolution to man's intellectual and spiritual nature. FORAMINIFERA are single-celled organisms with an external shell of diverse forms and materials. Most foraminifera are marine the majority of which live on or within the seafloor sediment. Over 50000 species are recognized both living ~10000 and fossil 40000. The most striking aspect of most foraminifera are their hard shells or tests. These may consist of one of multiple chambers and may be composed of protein sediment particles calcite aragonite or in one case silica. Test-bearing foraminifera have an excellent fossil record throughout the Phanerozoic eon. Dying planktonic Foraminifera continuously rain down on the sea floor in vast numbers their mineralized tests preserved as fossils in the accumulating sediment. Because certain types of foraminifera are found only in certain environments their fossils can be used to figure out the kind of environment under which ancient marine sediments were deposited; conditions such as salinity depth oxygenic conditions and light conditions can be determined from the different habitat preferences of various species of foraminifera. This allows workers to track changing climates and environmental conditions over time by aggregating information about the foraminifera present. Recent application of these data have led to disturbing predictions regarding current acceleration of climate change resulting from human-generated CO2 E. J. Judd et al.
