About this work

Description

Notes taken from lectures by William Saunders on the practice of physic, written in an interleaved copy of his Elements of the practice of physic, for the use of gentlemen who attend lectures on that subject read at Guy's Hospital ([London], 1780). Spine lettered 'Saunders's practice of physic.' Signatures on f. 1r. 'Jane Sutton 1780', and on f. 8r. 'E Lightwood.' The latter signature appears to be in the same hand as the text, and is probably that of the student who took the notes.
