This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Chapin Aaron Harris was born on May 6, 1806, at Pompey, New York, United States, the son of John and Elizabeth (Brundage) Harris.
Chapin received his early education in the public school in Pompey, New York. In 1824-1826 he studied medicine with his brother John at Madison, Ohio. He had the degrees of A. M. and M. D. , but when and where he received them is uncertain.
Chapin Harris practised medicine at Greenfield, Ohio, in 1827-1828, and in the latter year began the practice of dentistry in the same town, his interest in that profession having been aroused by his brother, who had become a dentist shortly before. From 1831 to 1839 he practised dentistry in several cities of the South, with his headquarters in Baltimore, where he was licensed as a dentist in 1833 by the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland. About 1833 he was in partnership with his uncle, James H. Harris, in Baltimore, and during the summer months of 1833 and 1834, with F. B. Chewning in Richmond, Virginia. From 1839 until his death he practised independently in Baltimore.
In 1839 Harris published The Dental Art, a Practical Treatise on Dental Surgery, perhaps the most popular dental textbook ever written. Progressively revised and enlarged under the title of Principles and Practice of Dental Surgery, it went through twelve editions between 1845 and 1896, was translated into French, and had an extensive sale for half a century.
In 1839, Harris obtained the cooperation of Hayden in the organization of the world’s first dental college, the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, which was chartered and began to function in 1840. Hayden was its first president and Harris its first dean and first professor of operative dentistry and dental prosthesis. In 1840 he was associated with Hayden and others in the organization of the first national dental association, the American Society of Dental Surgeons, of which he was the first corresponding secretary, and from which, as a member, he received one of the original titles of D. D. S. Upon Hayden’s death in 1844, Harris succeeded him in the presidency of this society and in the presidency of the college.
Harris contributed valuable articles and editorials to the pages of the American Journal of Dental Science. In its Library Supplement he published his own translations of two popular French dental works, A Treatise on Second Dentition (1845), by C. F. Delabarre, and Complete Elements of the Science and Art of the Dentist (1847), by A. M. Desirabode. In 1846 he issued an edition of the Natural History and Diseases of the Human Teeth by Joseph Fox, remodeled, with an introduction and additions. He also compiled A Dictionary of Dental Science, Biography, Bibliography and Medical Terminology (1849). It was the only work of the kind in English for nearly three-quarters of a century.
Harris died in his fifty-fifth year, a victim of overwork, and was interred in Mount Olivet Cemetery, Baltimore. Generous to a fault, he left practically no estate. A testimonial fund was raised among dentists for the benefit of his widow and unmarried daughters. There is a portrait bust of Harris at the intersection of Linden and North Avenues, Baltimore, and a Harris and Hayden memorial tablet has been placed in the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery.
Chapin Harris was famous as one of the founders of dentistry as an organized profession in the United States and pioneer of dental journalism. He established the world’s first dental periodical, the American Journal of Dental Science, the first number of which appeared in June 1839 with Harris as one of its editors. In cooperation with Hayden Chapin Harris founded also the world’s first dental college, the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, of which he was president. He has been inducted in the hall of fame of the Pierre Fauchard Academy.
