| Description Of Item | This section contains the papers of Sir David Barry. They were originally in one bundle. Although the items are on a number of subjects which were of interest to Barry, such as circulation and respiration, they are in several different handwritings. None of them are signed so it is not possible to know the authors. The original order of the items in the bundle has been maintained as consecutive items may relate to each other. Few items have titles, so the titles given in square brackets are an approximation of the content. Items may seem to relate to each other by subject. However, they are often in different handwriting and on different sizes of paper so can not be assumed to have been written at the same time. Very few have any dates. It has been assumed that they date from his time studying in Paris, France between 1822 and 1826. |
