Holmes, Oliver Wendell, 1809-1894

Jackson, Charles (1775-1855)

Little is known of Holmes’ private medical practice, but this volume of case notes derives from the period while he was on the Tremont School faculty and immediately following his research into the contagiousness of puerperal fever. The Judge Jackson being treated here is probably Charles Jackson (1775-1855), formerly of the Massachusetts Supreme Judiciary Court—and, since 1840, Holmes’ father-in-law.
