The archives of the Rockefeller Medical Library hold a number of unpublished manuscripts of John Hughlings Jackson, the only ones of his known to exist. These manuscripts are mainly typescripts prepared between 1898 and 1910 in collaboration with James Taylor, but two are handwritten. They are in various stages of completion; most contain marginal comments and corrections in Hughlings Jackson’s hand. This catalogue includes forty-five items.

The archives of the Rockefeller Medical Library hold a collection of pamphlets written by John Hughlings Jackson, the only such collection known to exist. Most of these pamphlets reprint articles published in contemporaneous medical periodicals, though one pamphlet was not published elsewhere. There is internal evidence that Hughlings Jackson circulated these pamphlets privately. Some contain marginal comments and corrections in Hughlings Jackson’s hand, and in other hands as well. The Rockefeller Medical Library collection contains five boxes of loose items, which are labelled boxes A–E. Each item is assigned a serial number in the order in which it appears in the collection. The identification number consists of the box letter followed by the serial number.

Rayer divided his history of albuminous nephritis into four parts, corresponding to the various combinations of the three hallmarks of the condition, i.e. diseased kidneys at autopsy, dropsy in life and a finding of albumin in the urine. The accounts take us from the earliest writings, through the Renaissance period to the pre-Bright era and then onwards to the more contemporary studies immediately post Bright, which were mainly conducted in Rayer’s own department. The first part describes dropsy associated with diseased kidneys; the second part concerns the combination of albuminous urine and dropsy and also where urine low in urea and salts had been found; the third part brings the triad of albuminous urine, dropsy and renal lesions together. It is in this section that Bright’s work is critically examined and questioned. In the final part Rayer outlines his main recommendations and conclusions. In this commentary references have been omitted in favour of a Selected Bibliography that comprehensively covers the history of renal medicine, in particular the areas of controversy arising from Rayer’s text. Fundamentally, Richard Bright described three types of nephritic kidneys at post mortem associated with albumin in the urine and clinical dropsy during life; his work provided a benchmark from which all further research on the subject would evolve. In the eyes of the medical world his description finally separated renal dropsy as a clinical entity from that of cardiac or hepatic dropsy. Nevertheless, he could not have anticipated the frenetic activity that his publication would engender, not only in the medical schools of England, but also in those of Scotland, Ireland and France. Thus, Bright’s work provided not only the baseline, but also the stimulus, for his contemporaries, first to confirm the authenticity of his clinico-pathological triad, and then to add further, often egocentric comparative interpretations to his or their own findings. In fact, many of them did little to improve on Bright’s classical description. In order to get the text in perspective it is worthwhile casting a backward glance at several important areas which could explain some of the often acrimonious polemical debates that arose amongst researchers into nephritis in the immediate post-Bright period. Two factors had an essential bearing on the diagnosis of nephritis: the first being the precise body of knowledge relating to clinical syndromes, renal pathology, renal function, urine and urinalysis available to physicians in the mid-nineteenth century, and the second being the prevalent demography of that age which was critically important given that the pattern of diseases then was completely different and could at times obscure correct diagnosis. Both these points, plus the fact that diseases including dropsy were ineffectively treated and seen at a more advanced stage, make our modern assessment of the data fallible, even with the advantage of hindsight. Retrospectively,
