Thomas Hollier's operation on Samuel Pepys

John Blandy, a retired urologist, is carrying out research into the actual operation that Samuel Pepys underwent at the hands of Thomas Hollier in 1658. He wrote again saying he has now drafted a paper along with his colleague John Kirkup, who is the honorary curator of instruments at The Royal College of Surgeons. He believes that the operation that Pepys underwent was one known and practised by Huguenots in rural France.

This may be so, but I still don't think that Thomas Hollier himself was a Huguenot. However, the paper will be interesting to read.
