A bibliography of john hutchinson

Abstract

This paper lists and briefly describes all known publications by and about Hutchinson that can be traced. It would appear that between 1844 and his death in 1861 Hutchinson's work had received wide dissemination, and sixteen accounts of his work with the spirometer had appeared in the British and Continental literature. In addition we have the four published accounts of his work on the intercostal muscles; his twelve very important papers on ventilation; and eight papers on other medical and allied subjects. In this century five biographical accounts of Hutchinson, or descriptions of his work have been published; but there are grounds for thinking that only in recent years has proper recognition of his achievements been made. © 1977, Cambridge University Press.
