THOMAS PRIDGIN TEALE (1801?-1867) A treatise on neuralgic diseases. E. L. Carey and A. Hart 1830 iv, 120 pp. 21.7 cm.

During his youth Teale lost an eye while performing a chemical experiment but he still went on to become a successful and accomplished surgeon. He was educated at the medical school attached to Guy's and St. Thomas' Hospitals in London and initially practiced with his father in Leeds. He served as surgeon to the Leeds Public Dispensary for nine years and later to the Leeds General Infirmary for over thirty years. Teale was also one of the founders of the Leeds School of Medicine where he lectured on anatomy and physiology for over twenty-five years. The present book was Teale's initial published work and first appeared at London in 1829. In the treatise, Teale uses numerous case histories as examples in applying Broussais' (see No. 1265 ff.) doctrine of irritation to the nervous system.
