| Description Of Item | Each case note is headed either with the name of the patient or their condition. The notes include prescriptions and a journal of the patient's progress. All the entries are in Latin with some titles in French and occasional use of English. Some of the patients are eminent such as Lord Conway (p23), Lord Rich (p36), Lord Beauchamp (p42), Sir Henry Wallop (p54), Lady Carr (p77) and the daughter of the Queen of Bohemia (p138). There are also a number of patients with foreign names such as Mrs Vanbrugge (p90), Mrs Vanderputt (p145), Signor Jeronymo Veneto (p151) and Madamoyselle Moncon (p244). At the rear (pp285-286) is a letter in English addressed to Her Grace concerning what she hoped was a pregnancy but the physician thought otherwise. The dates are from p251 (1633) and p230 (1642). However, as the entries are not chronological there may be earlier and later entries. Extensively indexed at the rear by condition. Nowhere is the doctor named. |
