Footnote
The ‘earliest English dental textbook. Berdmore was the first to mention the use of the microscope for the study of the minute structure of teeth’ (Garrison-Morton). The work was first published in 1768; a Dublin edition, presumably a straight reprint or piracy, appeared in 1769, followed by this edition.
