The work was only published in French a year later (1768) with the title ""Chirurgie d'armée, ou traité des plaies d'armes à feu, et d'armes blanches...et une infinité d'autres détails neufs & intéressants."".""One of the most importent works on military surgery during the 18th century. Ravaton, a skillfull army surgeon, was the first to employ a tin boot, suspended on four rings, for the ""hanging"" position of broken bones. He was also the first to to adopt the double-flap method in amputations"". (Garrison & Morton No 2154, but here listed the French edition from 1768).This edition not in Wellcome.
