Bell is one of the towering figures of early 19th-century medicine; his original ideas on the nervous system have been likened to those of William Harvey on the circulation of blood, and his privately published pamphlet detailing his ideas about the brain has been called the Magna Carta of neurology. He is remembered today chiefly for Bell's palsy, the Bell-Magendie law on spinal nerve function, and his remarkable draughtsmanship (his paintings of the wounded from the Napoleonic Wars are among the most extraordinary medical images of the period). This work presents his observations on various types of strictures in the urethra. Uncommon.
