Notebook containing lecture and other medical notes, pharmaceutical recipes, commonplaces, sketches and scribbles, made as a student at Edinburgh University.

There are notes of lectures on surgery by Sir Charles Bell (1774–1842), general pathology by Dr Simpson [James Young Simpson (1811–1870), 1st bt 1866], and pathology by Dr Thomson [William Thomson (1802-1852)]; there are also brief notes (f.31) of a lecture on hydrocephalus by Dr Home [James Home (1760–1844)]. From the back of the volume there are notes of lectures on clinical medicine by Dr Alison [William Pulteney Alison (1790–1859)], Dr Christison [Robert Christison (1797–1882), 1st bt 1871] and Dr Graham [Robert Graham (1786–1845)], presumably delivered at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.

Among the sketches and scribbles are crude illustrations of dissections (ff.26-27) and portraits of Home (ff.34v., 85v.), Hamilton [?James Hamilton junior (1767–1839)] and Simpson (f.85v.).

A few of the non-medical entries are apparently by Thomas Graham's fellow student Thomas Kennedy (MD 1839).
