| Description Of Item | Shippen was a student of Cullen's in 1761 and now teaches anatomy, surgery and midwifery at the university. In Spring the university produced eight medical graduates, one of whom, James Lyons, delivers the letter. Shippen introduces him to Cullen 'for the last polish from your improving lectures'. If his first son had lived he too would be sitting at Cullen's feet. His other son is reading law. In index. |
