    Abstract:
    Richard T. Evanson, Professor of Medicine in the RCSI and Henry Maunsell, Professor of Obstetrics, jointly published a textbook of paediatrics which went through five editions between 1836 and 1847. The textbook was based on their practical experience in the treatment of children in the Institution of the Diseases, founded in 1821. This was probably the first Children's Hospital in these islands. The textbook reviews neonatal care, normal development, and the diagnosis and treatment of childhood illnesses. It was well received at home and abroad and it was a major contribution to contemporary literature.
