Carpue's An Account of Two Successful Operations caused the rebirth of plastic surgery in 1816 over 200 years after the first plastic surgery book was written by Tagliacozzi. Tagliacozzi's book was pirated with both authorized edition and unauthorized editions having been published in 1597. In his book, Carpue reviewed the literature including Tagliacozzi's work. Carpue had Charles Turner, engraver-in-ordinary to the King prepare his books illustrations. Comparing Turner's engraving with those in the original and pirated editions of Tagliacozzi's book shows that Turner duplicated the pirated edition. The author discovered a pirated edition at St. Bartholomew's Medical College Library in 1971 that was signed by Carpue and shows how by comparing the illustrations in it with those in Carpue's book that this was the working copy used by Turner. In 1819 Carpue gave this book to a "B. Turner Jr." who probably was Turner's teenage son who later became a surgeon. In 2011 the author discovered an authorized version of Tagliacozzi's book signed by Carpue at the Lilly Library in Indiana. These books are important links in the history of plastic surgery.
卡普氏报告的两例成功手术在 1816 年重新点燃了整形外科学，此时距离 1597 年出版第一本整形外科学书籍已经过去了 200 多年。塔利亚科齐的书被盗版，同年既有授权版，也有无授权版出版。在他的书中，卡普氏回顾了文献，包括塔利亚科齐的作品。卡普氏请皇家金匠查尔斯·特纳（Charles Turner）为他的书准备插图。将特纳的雕刻与塔利亚科齐原始版和盗版书中的插图进行比较表明，特纳复制了盗版版。作者于 1971 年在圣巴塞洛缪医学院图书馆发现了一本盗版书，该书由卡普氏签名，并展示了如何通过比较其中的插图与卡普氏书中的插图，这是特纳使用的工作副本。1819 年，卡普氏将这本书赠送给了“小 B. 特纳（B. Turner Jr.）”，后者可能是特纳十几岁的儿子，后来成为了一名外科医生。2011 年，作者在印第安纳州的莉莉图书馆发现了一本由卡普氏签名的授权版塔利亚科齐书。这些书是整形外科学历史上的重要环节。
