Summary:

Notebook containing a ms. essay entitled "Pneumonophthisis." Also includes a loose leaf containing a note that appears to be in a different hand from the essay. Neither the author of the essay nor that of the note is identified. The essay was evidently never published.

The essay is dedicated to the physician Samuel George Morton (1799-1851), whom the author calls a "warm friend." Presumably the year of Morton's death, 1851, can be used as a terminus ante quem for the essay.

Notes:

Among other works, the author cites Jean Baptiste Timothée Baumes' Traité de la phthisie pulmonaire (Montpellier: G. Izar et A. Ricard, [1794/95], reissued 1805) and John Mason Good's The study of medicine (London: Baldwin, Cradock, and Joy, 1822). This latter work gives us a terminus post quem of 1822 for the essay. The author misspells "Baumes" as "Beaumes."
