Second referee's report by William Allen Miller, on a paper 'On the dissolution of urinary calculi in dilute saline fluids, at the temperature of the body, by the aid of electricity' by Henry Bence Jones

Reference number: RR/2/121

Date: 09 March 1853

Description

Recommended for publication in the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society'. Has been in conversation with Henry Bence Jones, and ascertained that waiting for the medial trials to be completed would cause considerable delay to the paper. As it stands, one uncoloured plate would be 'sufficient' to illustrate the current findings.
