During his active lifetime, spent chiefly in acquiring and putting in practice the rare professional skill which distinguished him, he gave but little time to the use of his pen. Hence he left no large book as the record of his experience. His principal writings were published, in 1837, in the tenth volume of the _Transylvania Journal of Medicine_, and these were written for that journal on the solicitation of the present writer, who edited that volume. They consist of: 1. A short report of a case of epilepsy, produced in a negro girl by blows of the windlass of a well on the parietal bone, which was entirely and speedily cured under the preliminary treatment by Doctor Dudley of mercurial purgatives and low diet, preparatory to the use of the trephine, which, as is well known, had been used with great success by Doctor Dudley in such cases. 2. Report of a case of insidious inflammation of the pia mater, complicated with pleuritis--with the autopsy. 3. A more extended paper, entitled "Remarks on Mechanical Pressure Applied by Means of the Bandage; Illustrated by a Variety of Cases." In which the mode of application and _modus operandi_ are most clearly given, and illustrated by many interesting cases, mostly from the surgical practice of Doctor Dudley. 4. "Dissection of an Idiot's Brain." The subject--a female twenty-five years of age--had been born idiotic, blind, deaf, and dumb; the head was very small, and the brain on dissection was found to weigh only twenty ounces, and to have large serous cavities in the coronal portions of the cerebral hemispheres. The anatomy of the eyes was perfect, but there was no nervous connection between the optic nerve and the _thalami nervorum opticorum_. 5. A short notice of three operations of lithotomy, performed on May 31, 1837, by Doctor Dudley, with his assistance. 6. "Interesting Autopsy." On the body of a negro man who had been the subject of sudden falling fits, and was under treatment for disease of the chest. The autopsy disclosed hypertrophy of the right side of the heart, and a most remarkable course and lengthening of the colon. 7. "Observations on the Operation of Lithotomy, Illustrated by Cases from the Practice of Professor B. W. Dudley." An extensive and lucid description of the method of operation and the remarkably successful experience of Doctor Dudley in this part of his practice, giving report of one hundred and fifty-two successful cases up to that time. In addition, the Doctor contributed an occasional bibliographical review or notice. And these seem to be the whole of his published professional writings.
