Notes
Founded in 1737, this is the oldest student society of its kind in the United Kingdom, whose members were duty-bound to deliver a dissertation for examination by their peers.
This collection comprises over 200 volumes of hand-written dissertations, providing a unique insight into the development in medical teaching and thought during the last 250 years. In subject, the dissertations range from framboesia to fear, from meningitis to mongolism and many represent the earliest original work of famous men of medicine.
The linked author index is in two parts: vols. 1-95 (1751-1833), and vols. 96-215 (1834-1968).
Scanned from the microfilm of the Royal Medical Society collections in the Edinburgh University Library.
