ARNAUD DE RONSIL, George, son of an eminent surgeon at Paris, and some time professor of surgery in the college of St. Côme. On account of an accident that occurred while he was practising midwifery, he removed from Paris to London, where he acquired great repute by his operations, and his writings on surgical subjects. Before his time the treatment of hernia had been but imperfectly understood; and the surgeons of this country are indebted to the observations of Arnaud for many of those improvements which have since rendered their practice so successful in this branch of the art. He died in 1774.
