William Acton on Sexual Behaviour
1 William Acton and Medical Discourse in Mid-Nineteenth Century Britain Submitted by Madeleine Prudence Morgan to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History, April 2011 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. ......................................................................................... 2 Abstract This thesis presents the life and work of the physician William Acton from his education and medical training in Paris up to the introduction of the Contagious Diseases Acts. This thesis aims to re-visit Acton‟s two works on sexual function and sexual behaviour Prostitution, Considered in Its Moral, Social and Sanitary Aspects, in London and Other Large Cities. With Proposals for Mitigation and Prevention of Its Attendant Evils and The Functions and Disorders of the Reproductive Organs in Childhood, Youth, Adult Age and Advanced Life Considered in Their Physiological, Social and Moral Relations in order to understand Acton‟s intellectual development up to the middle of his career. The overarching theme of Acton‟s work identifies the necessity of regulation on a public and private level of sexual dysfunction. Acton‟s studies of prostitution and of sexual dysfunction in the male both conclude that the effective treatment of diseases such as syphilis and spermatorrhoea was not the intervention of medical curatives, but the regulation of the body. -

Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Humanities College of Arts University of Glasgow Abstract 1 Abstract During the first half of the eighteenth century, the monolithic term ‘venereal disease’ or lues venerea covered all signs and symptoms of diseases transmitted through sex. In 1766, Francis Balfour – a medical student at the University of Edinburgh – suggested that lues venerea could actually be divided into two separate diseases, each caused by a unique contagion: syphilis and gonorrhoea. This opened a debate that continued for decades, between the monists, who believed that syphilis and gonorrhoea were merely symptoms of the same disease, and the dualists, who believed that the two should be separated. -
À Propos De Philippe Ricord *
A propos de Philippe Ricord 6/01/09 12:10 Page 365 À propos de Philippe Ricord * par Claude RENNER ** Défricheur et ordonnateur des maladies vénériennes, Philippe Ricord est aussi un per- sonnage public dont l’exceptionnelle carrière médicale n’a d’égale que sa flamboyante réussite sociale qui le voit aller d’un château à l’autre et soigner le Gotha du Second Empire. La famille Ricord L’essentiel de sa biographie est présenté dans l’éloge funèbre prononcé par Monod en 1892 et rapporté par le Dictionnary of American Medical Biography. Venu de Grasse, son grand-père est médecin à Marseille au XVIIIème siècle. Son père, riche armateur, est membre de la Compagnie des Indes (10) et fuit la Révolution (1). Dans sa fuite il passe par la Guadeloupe où une branche familiale s’est probablement installée au préalable avant d’atteindre Baltimore en 1790. Selon un descendant d’Alexandre Ricord (frère de Philippe), leur père, Jean Baptiste Alexandre Ricord, est parfumeur et négociant. Sa mère, née Aubert, mariée à quinze ans, aura trois filles et trois garçons dont Philippe est le cadet. D’autres sources lui attribuent sept enfants (11). Jean-Baptiste, l’aîné des frères, naît à Marseille ou peut-être à Paris en 1777. Ses études médicales le voient passer par le College of physicians and Surgeons de New York. Il s’installe en Guadeloupe où il étu- die la botanique, s’intéresse aux vertus de l’eau de mer et aux effets des poisons. Curieusement, il signe ses publications Ricord Madiana (13), ajoutant à son patronyme le nom d’une propriété familiale ? Son frère Alexandre naît à Baltimore en 1798. -

Eminent Venereologists. 3. Philippe Ricord
Genitourin Med 1989;65:388-393 Eminent venereologists. 3. Philippe Ricord J D ORIEL Philippe Ricord was born in 1800 in Baltimore, USA, where his family had emigrated from Marseille to escape the Terror which followed the French Revolu- tion. His father died young, so Philippe and his brother Alexander were brought up by an elder brother, a naturalist. They attended a school in New York, but owing to straitened finances had to leave early. Philippe worked in a series of clerical jobs, but continued to study in the evenings. His return to France came abbut by chance. He and Alexander used to accompany their brother on expeditions to Canada and the USA, and on one ofthese they met the French naturalist Lesueur. They took his fancy, and he asked Hyde de Neuville, a Minister in the French Govern- ment, ifhe could take them back to France as curators to a collection of botanical and zoological specimens. This was agreed, so at the age of 20 years Ricord set foot on French soil for the first time. Once in Paris he had to supplement his meagre curator's income with payments for translations and English lessons. He declined an offer from de Neuville of an appointment as naturalist to the French embassy in Washington DC, because he had decided on a career in medicine.' In the early 19th century French medical talent was centred in Parisian hospitals. Many of these had been upgraded after the Revolution, and new ones built. Medical students were selected by competitive examin- ation. "Externs" were unpaid, and attended their hospital twice a day for ward rounds. -
Bawdy City Commercial Sex, Capitalism, and Regulation in Nineteenth- Century Baltimore
BAWDY CITY COMMERCIAL SEX, CAPITALISM, AND REGULATION IN NINETEENTH- CENTURY BALTIMORE By Katie M. Hemphill A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland June, 2014 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the development and policing of Baltimore’s commercial sex trade between 1800 and 1880. Using a core source base of Baltimore City court dockets, newspaper and census records, estate inventories, appellate court decisions, Alms-House medical and admissions records, and medical journals, it reveals that nineteenth-century Baltimore was home to a variety of businesses and entrepreneurs who supported themselves by commodifying sex. The sex trade grew more profitable and diverse as Baltimore developed as a capitalist city, and prostitution, venereal medicine, and (later) risqué print materials were all deeply embedded within the broader urban economy. Commercial sex developed in tandem with the shifting spatial and labor arrangements of capitalism, and it in turn fueled the economic and cultural development of the city. As commercial sex expanded at mid-century, moralists, middle-class Baltimoreans, and political opportunists voiced increasingly strong opposition to prostitution and obscenity. Local authorities were tasked with deciding how best to police the sex trade. This dissertation argues they developed a bifurcated approach. Lawmakers and police eventually assumed a suppressive stance toward the trades in abortion, anti- venereal medicine, and obscene print, all of which promoted sexuality that was simultaneously too public and too covert. At the same time that they cracked down on other forms of commercial sex, however, local authorities tolerated bawdy houses and indoor prostitution and integrated them into a well-established regulatory system that operated through the city courts. -
A Dark Age for Medicine?
ON THE ORIGINS OF THE MODERN CONCEPT OF SYPHILIS EIGHTEENTH CENTURY DEBATE, LUDWIK FLECK, AND THE ENLIGHTENMENT A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History and Philosophy of Science Teneille Humphris University of Canterbury 2013 Abstract The enlightenment period is often considered a dark age within the history of medicine. Contrary to this sentiment, I argue that the enlightenment spirit of inquiry regarding venereal disease was vibrant, dynamic, and profoundly influenced how syphilis was understood in the subsequent century. Historiography frequently minimises advances of medical knowledge made in the eighteenth century by focusing on the inefficacy of treatments, rather than on developments in medical theories and concepts. This thesis attends to this gap by examining a case study within venereology to demonstrate that physicians engaging in public debate significantly advanced knowledge of syphilis. In doing so, this counters a historiographical trend that claims that French physician Philippe Ricord (1800-1889) was the first to distinguish syphilis from gonorrhoea in the nineteenth century. It uses historical evidence to show that the nature of syphilis was debated throughout the preceding centuries and that this distinction was clearly established in 1793 by Scottish surgeon, Benjamin Bell (1749-1806). This thesis uses the epistemic concepts devised by Ludwik Fleck in his Genesis and Development of a Scientific Fact (1979 [1935]) to illustrate how enlightenment ways of thinking substantially contributed to the development of modern medicine. This thesis therefore invites a reconsideration of the era, not as a dark age, but as a rich period of scientific endeavour.
