    LITHOGRAPHS IN THE ELEVENTH VOLUME OF THE MEDICO-CHIRURGICAL TRANSACTIONS, Published in London, A.D. 1820, IS A PAPER, ENTITLED A STATISTICAL INQUIRY INTO THE FREQUENCY OF STONE IN THE BLADDER IN GREAT BRITAIN & IRELAND. BY RICHARD SMITH, Esq., SENIOR SURGEON TO THE BRISTOL INFIRMARY. The Cabinet of Calculi, which furnished materials for the above Paper, containing some Specimens considered to be worthy of particular notice, it was determined to have representations of the latter taken, and the sheets which follow are the results. Another leaf or two may probably he added hereafter. Twelve years have now elapsed since the above publication, and the Collection has been augmented with above a hundred additional sets. By “ a set” is meant the product of each individual subject. In some cases there is only a single stone—in others, two, three, six, ten, twenty, or more, of considerable size. In cases of gravel, as they are termed, one set may have several hundred. The Museum was, in November, 1826, deposited at the above Institution, where it is open to the inspection of all Professional and Scientific Persons, by application to either of the Physicians or Surgeons of the Establishment, or to the House- Surgeon and Apothecary. June, 1832.
