Letter 3799

Garengeot received the list of Royal Society members. A second edition of his book on operations is nearly finished. Sloane will receive a copy of the book by Charles Denis ‘In Paton Square near haymarket’. Garengeot wants to know whether Sloane received the dissertation. He has not spoken to Morand or Cheselden about the operation, an account of which he suggests should be published in the Memoires de l’académie. René Jacques Croissant de Garengeot (1688-1759) was a French surgeon. He was Surgeon-Major of the Régiment du Roy and the Physician-in-Ordinary of the Roi au Châtelet. Garengeot was a member of l’Académie de chirurgie de Paris and the Royal Society (http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/René-Jacques_Croissant_de_Garengeot).
