His mechanical as well as surgical knowledge were particularly displayed in contriving some useful instruments and apparatus, which are now in general use by the profession and which will long perpetuate his mane as one of the benefactors of mankind (Memoir of Henry Bond, M.DS. by Horatio Gates Jones, corresponding secretary of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania)
