A peculiar fact as regards this case was the statement of the father that he himself had had sexual indulgence at eight.
Stone parallels this case by several others that he has collected from medical literature.
Breschet in 1821 reported the case of a boy born October 20, 1817, who at three years and one month was 3 feet 6 3/4 inches tall; his penis when flaccid measured 4 inches and when erect 5 1/4 inches, but the testicles were not developed in proportion.
Lopez describes a mulatto boy of three years ten and a half months whose height was 4 feet 1/2 inch and weight 82 pounds; he measured about the chest 27 1/2 inches and about the waist 27 inches; his penis at rest was 4 inches long and had a circumference of 3 1/2 inches, although the testes were not descended.
He had evidences of a beard and his axillae were very hairy; it is said he could with ease lift a man weighing 140 pounds.
