Overview

Excerpt from Hermaphrodism, From a Medico-Legal Point of View: A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Medicine, Paris, 1874, for the Degree of Doctor of Medicine The vices of conformation of the genital organs had from all time attracted the notice of observers but the absence of positive knowledge of the normal anatomy and pathology, to the middle of the eighteenth century, permitted the ranging of these facts, which were much more in the domain of the marvellous and unknown, in a special category, rather than in the true domain of science. It was only at the end of the last century, and the begin ning of this, that numerous works appeared, which partly elucidated the subject and enabled us to penetrate the infinite modifications of its mechanism. However, it was necessary to wait for the recent discoveries of modern anatomy, and the labors in embryology, in order to affirm that the question of hermaphrodism was nearly solved.
