1810Six editions, and the last one waited seventy-nine yearsThe sixth edition was finished in manuscript by 1842 and printed seventy-nine years later.
1811A hypothesis, then a measurement, then a fixed numberThe constant was measured long after the hypothesis, and fixed exactly in 2019.
1796The bark, the fever, and the self-experimentCinchona officinalis. Hahnemann took Peruvian bark himself and wrote down what followed.

The National Health and Medical Research Council released its information paper in March 2015 after an assessment of the controlled-trial literature — the protocol, the inclusion criteria and the submissions it received are published with it.
The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee reported in February 2010. The volume prints the transcripts of its hearings alongside its conclusions and the Government’s response.
A matched comparison of homeopathy and conventional-medicine trials, published in August 2005. The methods used to select its final subset were disputed in correspondence for years, and that correspondence is part of the record.
Six pieces: the Liga, the Faculty of Homeopathy, two hospitals, three manufacturers and two pharmacopoeias.
