| Description Of Item | Hamilton had hoped to take over from his uncle, James Hamilton, in the Chair of Midwifery. To that end he worked on a long series of lectures, collating his notes of others' lectures, his wide reading and his personal experience. He considered turning these into a published 'Dictionary of Midwifery', but obtained no advance backing for the project.
This section includes general notes and more specifically the two series of manuscripts (notebooks 1-35 and lectures 1-72) he prepared for his unpublished Dictionary of Midwifery. The two series do not appear to overlap. The folder at HAL/2/2/9 may contain items of relevance to this section. |
