Isaac S. Thompson notes on the lectures of Colin McKenzie
Collection
Identifier: MSS 408
Scope and Contents note
This is a volume of manuscript lecture notes entitled "Lectures on the Theory and Practice of Midwifery by Colin McKenzie, M.D." The notes appear to have been taken by Isaac S. Thompson. There are 22 lectures; topics include "Of the Structure of the Pelvis," "Of Conception and Touching," "On Abortion," "Premature Births," and "Preternatural Labor." The volume also includes several recipes for prescriptions.
An inscription on the inside of the front cover dates the volume to 1784; however, McKenzie died in 1775. Thompson either copied earlier notes from McKenzie's lectures in 1784, or did not date (or cover?) the notebook until 1784.
