| Description | Bonavert describes an instance of a stone found under the tongue of a man in Wrotham [Kent, England]. The stone had caused a quinsie, an antiquated term for an abscess between the tonsil and throat. Bonavert believed the stone was of the same type as kidney and bladder stones. The account was witnessed by John Harpur, Morgan Jones, and the mark of Thomas Wood.
