Excerpt from A Catalogue of Surgical Instruments
Matthews Brothers beg to submit their Catalogue to the profession, and trust that it will be found a useful book of reference; with this end it has not been allowed to attain an unreasonable size, whilst great care has been taken to make the engravings accurate representations of the various instruments.
Strict attention is always paid to adhere to the correct patterns, and that the material and workmanship are of the highest class. Matthews Brothers personally superintend the manufacturing department, and no instruments are supplied without having previously passed through their hands.
The prices have been regulated, with the view of being as moderate as possible without detriment to quality, it being always their object to supply none but perfectly reliable instruments.
Prize Medals have been awarded to them in the International Exhibition of 1851, 1862, and 1873, for "Ingenuity of Construction and Excellence of Manufacture."
A map on page 8 shows the position of the new premises to which Matthews Brothers have-recently removed, nearly opposite their old ones (marked respectively N and O on the map), and next door to Kings College Hospital.
