LECTURES ON ANATOMY AND MIDWIFERY BUCKNILL, Charles.

Notes from medical lectures.

A most interesting medical manuscript by one Charles Bucknill recording lectures given in 1798 by the Scottish anatomist Matthew Baillie (1761–1823) and the English obstetrician John Clarke (1758–1815). Bucknill – likely a forebear of the psychiatrist and mental health reformer Sir John Charles Bucknill (1817–1897) – appears to have attended these lectures in London, and his manuscript is an important witness to medical teaching in the capital at the close of the eighteenth century.
