| Description Of Item | Two casebooks one with a cover labelled 'Journal No 2 Sadrass April 15th 1808'. As they are of identical format, the untitled casebook is presumably Journal No 1. Each entry gives the patient's name, age and case history and each volume has an index at the front with the patient's name and disease. When a patient died post mortem details are also given. The first entry in Journal No 2 describes the patient as having been admitted to the regimental hospital at Wallajahbad which indicates that the Sadrass in the title is the town of Sadras on the Coromandel coast of India and the location of a fort. The author of these casebooks is not known, as Abercrombie never worked in India. |
