Description
Harvard’s first professor of clinical medicine, James Jackson, found that the time spent with his students on the wards at Massachusetts General Hospital detracted from his formal lecturing, and so he published these brief notes of his lectures on physiology, hygiene, pathology, and therapeutics in 1816. The work proved popular with the students, and Jackson expanded it into the Text Book of a Course of Lectures on the Theory and Practice of Physicin 1825.
This copy of the Syllabus is interleaved with the manuscript notes of Sumner Cummings (1800-1848), who studied medicine at Harvard during the winter of 1821.
