Observations on those diseases of females which are attended by discharges / Sir Charles Mansfield Clarke, [ca. 1814].

Clarke's manuscript copy of chapters II-XVII of the first volume of his "Observations on those diseases of females which are attended by discharges," was first printed in London by Longman in 1814. This is a fair copy in a clear legible script, written on paper-stock watermarked 1814, with the final section "Polypus of the uterus" written on a separate unwatermarked paper-stock (and extending to the final free end-papers, watermarked 1817) and inserted after binding. Chapter I (the introduction) is not present in the manuscript. The text of the manuscript and the printed version are identical, differing only in that passages written in the first person have been changed to the third person in the printed text. Several changes of the text are obvious in the manuscript (text crossed out, or edited), the final version of which again matches that in the printed work.
