186 The Indian technique of rhinoplasty changed the course of plastic surgery in Europe after a report on a successful operation of this type, published in *The Gentleman's Magazine* and *Historical Chronicle*, vol. 64 (2), October 1794, pages 883, 891, 892 (see M.T. Gnudi and J.P. Webster, 1976, 309–314; G. Majno, 1975: 291–292; D. Wujastyk, 1995: 27 and 29; E. Zeis, 1863: 58); this report is reproduced by M.T. Gnudi and J.P. Webster (1976: 309–310) and E. Haas (1876a: 659–660); E. Zeis (1863: 58, 60–61) remarks that this document is an almost verbatim copy of an earlier one concerning the same case on a copperplate, published on 20.March 1794 in Bombay by J. Wales. The lead of the report was quickly followed by a London surgeon, Joseph Constantine Carpue, who published his results in 1816 (see *J.B. Brown and F. MacDowell, 1965: 5; M.T. Gnudi and J.P. Webster, 1976: 315–320; E. Zeis, 1863: 66, 210–211, 215–216). See on Indian rhinoplasty and its influence: A. Bardeleben (1870): 741–742; J.M. Converse (1977): II, 1209–1213; E.
