About this work

Description

Transcript of lectures on the principles and practice of medicine, apparently by a certain Peter Forrester, [London], c. 1820. Incomplete. The first volume of a fair-copy transcript of Armstrong's lectures. The owner of the manuscript seems also to have been the transcriber, based on a comparison of hands, and was presumably a medical student, although nothing further is known about him.
