Summary

Medical case-book
Title
Medical case-book
Description

Medical case-book: in English. Written in a school-boy's arithmetic exercise-book, in which the name Alexander Morgan is found twice with calligraphic decorations, on the first leaf, and on the verso of the last. He is apparently the writer of these medical notes on patients; the name is also found, written in a more mature hand, in the top outer corner inside the upper cover. The earliest dated entry is 1720 on p. 15, and in several of the previous cases, the writer speaks of 'my master'; he was probably then a student apprentice. An approximate date for the earliest entries may be deduced from that on p. 6, which describes the case of a man 'who on the Coronation day received a wound'. This must refer to the Coronation of George I in 1714. The latest date is 29 August 1747 on the fifth preliminary unnumbered leaf.
