Lecture notes on anatomy and surgery, reputedly delivered by Sir Charles Bell

Anonymous manuscript lecture notes from anatomical lectures and surgical observations. The lectures were reputedly delivered by the surgeon Sir Charles Bell (1774-1842), with an inscription in pencil on p.i.

The volume is paginated, with text mainly on the rectos only and some diagrams drawn on versos. The anatomical lectures are between pp.1-110, and are dated January 1822 on the first page. Notes on 'surgical observations', undated, between pp.110-174. The notes mention a 'Mr Hunter' on p. 1 [presumably John Hunter (1728-1793), surgeon].

The topics of the surgical observations include: aneurysms, hernia, tourniquet, injuries of the brain and head, amputations, tumours, fractured bones and wounds, and necrosis.

Watermarks dated 1819-1821 on pp. i, 5 and 14 respectively, and pp.175-182 are blank.
