Notebook of medical and surgical case histories compiled by William Hey I, Richard Hey and his brother William Hey II

Manuscript, paginated notebook bound with parchment with 'W Hey' written on the front cover. The fly-leaf is inscribed with 'Rd Hey 1781 William Hey junr. 1795'.

Contains 26 patient cases, some which were observations of patients treated by William Hey I and some cases where the patient was admitted to the Leeds General Infirmary. The notes are in three hands: the first two cases appear to have been written by William Hey I; the third and fourth cases potentially by Richard Hey; and the rest by his brother, William Hey II. Page 76 contains a list of children innoculated against cowpox in 1800.

The notebook is only approximately one third used, the rest of the pages are blank.
