A nice item, casting light on the practice of the provincial medical profession in Victorian England. See Higginbottom's obituary in the British Medical Journal, 16 March 1895. There are a number of references to Higginbottom in the memoir of 1861 memoir of Marshall Hall (1790-1857) by his widow. For information about Hall, who died the following year, see his entry in the Oxford DNB, together with that of the otologist Joseph Toynbee (1815-1866). The item is from the papers of Rev. Samuel Walker, successively of Nottingham and Liverpool. 4pp, 12mo, with a concluding fifth page, including Higginbottom's signature, written lengthwise on the first page. Bifiolium. In good condition, lightly aged. Walker is nowhere named as the recipient - the letter is addressed to 'My dear Sir' and signed 'Marshall Hall Higginbottom' - but the references to 'Mrs. Walker', and the recipient's time in Nottingham, seem conclusive. The pleasure Higghinbottom was given by receiving Walker's letter and recognizing his handwriting was mitigated by the news of his continuing indisposition, including the 'relaxation of the throat' he was suffering from when he was in Nottingham. He urges him to 'consult an eminent physician in London, and I am sure you cannot do better than have Mr Toynbee's opinion'. He considers Toynbee 'an extremely clever man', who has 'devoted himself exclusively to the study of the Ear'. As his uncle 'Dr Hall' has 'not made diseases of the Ear a distinct Study', he will not recommend Walker to his 'best attention', but he is willing to write to Toynbee, having received 'a letter from him in reference to a patient not long since'. Should Walker wish for 'a change of air', the Higginbottoms will be pleased to receive him. His 'professional engagements' have prevented him from increasing his 'study of old Divinity' since Walker was in Nottingham, but he is looking forward to doing so in future. He sends the regards of his father and 'Mrs. H. Florence, Mr & Mrs. Hall' to the recipient and 'Mrs. Walker'.

See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 3pp, 12mo. On bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded once. The recipient's name is uncertain ('Knight Sladen'?) He is sorry that he is prevented from 'coming to the Mansion House on Wedy' by 'the demands of practice'. The subject has his sympathy, 'and, else, 2 Guineas if there is a subscription list & if small amounts be accepted'. He wonders whether his ticket might be used 'by a patriotic sister & a friend!' He asks him to simply send a post card 'to say I may substitute their names for mine'. to simply send a post card 'to say I may substitute their names for mine'.

Lightly aged and worn, with small square of paper cut from head, slightly affecting the address, and thin strip of paper from mount adhering to the reverse. The letter begins: 'Dear Sir, | The balloting list is of no use excepting to those who attend the Genl Meeting at Liverpool'. Although the Liverpool meeting 'might elect other Officers if it wished [] to do so would necessitate an organised not an accidental opposition. Such an opposition could not be got up unless there was a cause for it.' In the present instance he expects that 'the Balloting will prove a matter of little more than form'.

With regard to the University of St Andrews, where he and Cleveland received their medical education, Richardson writes that he is 'very pleased to hear from Dr Paul' that Cleveland 'will attend our University dinner. We shall have a very agreeable and I believe successful meeting'. As Cleveland is 'so kind as to subscribe to Dr Day's testimonial', Richardson asks if he will send his subscription, 'and with it your carte de visite and your Autograph on a small slip of white paper, for a testimonial album which is to accompany the testimonial'. George Edward Day (1815-1872) was Chandos Professor of Anatomy and Medicine at the University of St Andrews.

4pp., 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged, with thin strip of paper from mount adhering to reverse of second leaf. The recipient is not named. The letter begins: 'My Dear Sir, | I beg to introduce my friend Mr. Walker to you as he is frequenting the Leeds Anniversary Meeting of the Association'. He presumes that the recipient has not 'disposed of many copies' of his 'late publication': 'The demand here is steady and continued but not extensive.' He sees that the recipient was 'right' when he stated, speaking from his 'actual experience', 'that such publications are chiefly for giving and but little for sale'. His 'expectation will be more than realized' if two hundred copies of the publication sell. After 'squaring up' with the recipient, Noble will 'distribute the remainder' as 'judiciously' as he can, having regard to his own 'probable interests'. He would like to see him in Manchester, though he would find Noble 'as of erst, alone, and widowed, my family being in the Country for salutiferous purposes.' He asks to be remembered to 'Dr. Evans, whose hearty kindness, and most unexpected politeness to myself whilst in town, I never think of without a feeling of gratitude, and respect, and liking for the noble hearted fellow. Will you come? if you don't I shall really feel offended'. He feels sure that only 'something untoward' would prevent a visit. He ends by asking after 'Mrs. C.' A postscript reads: 'I see no notice in the Lancet yet. Am I indebted to you for a very favourable notice in the Argus?'

In good condition, lightly aged, with thin strip of paper from mount adhering to reverse of second leaf. Folded twice. The letter begins: 'My dear Cleveland, | I am much obliged for referring me to the case I speak of. I have had a somewhat similar one myself at the lung dispensary. My patient was a man who had symptoms of angina pectoris but the only manifestation of this to a bystander was a very rapid respiration & then a cessation, much as you mention.' He describes the 'only difference' between the two cases, before stating: 'It was of the paroxysm my man died & not for love or money could I obtain leave from the friends for an inspection. He refers to 'Dr Silsons case', observing: 'It was rather strange that the very day I sent my paper to the Journal, I received the card of the College of Physicians, announcing Dr Silsons course on the same subject. [] As Dr Silson will publish his lectures, I shall be backward in sending any more yet.' He refers to mutual acquaintance Metcalfe Johnson, now 'Secretary to the Scientific Institute': 'I am of opinion that he has never prospered in is profession & I am sorry for him, for I believe him to be a very good & straight forward fellow though certainly odd'. He concludes by reporting on a treatment in which Cleveland was 'formerly interested', which 'we have tried [] in two cases at Guys, & in one I think with relief'.

See Clarke's entry in the Oxford DNB. The present letter, signed 'Charles Mansfield Clarke', was written (from Caston, where Clarke's son-in-law Walter Patridge was rector) a few weeks after the death on 3 July 1856 of Clarke's wife of fifty years, Mary Anna (née Squire), by whom he had two sons and five daughters.

He explains that the 'long illness of my Dear Wife has kept me out of Society during the last three years and neither my daughter nor myself have quitted our charge'. He is happy that there was 'no suffering in the Case of our lost one: she sunk from exhaustion without the evidence of any disease'. After 'every thing at Brighton had been concluded', Clarke and his daughter Elizabeth stayed for a few days with his son at Hanwell. He is writing from 'the house of my Son in law, Rev Walter Patridge, he having lost his wife (my daughter) some years since'. He hopes to 'spend half a day with Mother' on his journey back to Brighton. He wishes he could 'pass a quiet day or two with yourself at Hardwick! but it is impossible you would I know, be as kind to me as you were to poor Westrop.' He ends with the news that he has 'let Wigginton Lodge', and that he intends Brighton to be 'my living and my resting place'.

Having met him to day, her adds to the above, that he will endeavour to see you before he leaves the Country, and will also take an opportunity of conversing with me concerning your complaints; But says he has nothing to propose but quiet, & least of all any operation, or attempt to cut away the tumour, in which he has the entire concurrence of one [i.e. Johnstone himself], who is sure such a measure would greatly shorten your life, & take away its remaining comforts.' He has not heard from him, but hopes his 'little patient is better'. He is sure he has 'nothing to fear from any thing I have yet observexv nf d in his constitution, which under a prudent abstinence from unnecessary interposition, and the judicious adaptation of such medicines as may be occasionally proper, will I dare say improve'.

Marion Shaw, daughter of Charles Shaw of Ayr, married Charles Bell in 1811.

She continues by observing that in her 'long life' she has 'written few letters, - but of sympathy and bereavements!' Her only hope is that the Daveys 'can both accept gratefully the mercies' that are still around them, including their son. She is sorry to see from Davey's writing that he is 'a sufferer [from arthritis]'. Concerning the book she states that the letters belong to George Joseph Bell, and that '[f]rom many circumstances' connected with his family 'they have been late in appearing; | The Mass of correspondence was so large, that the selection was difficult: to refrain, or to venture, equally so.' Nevertheless she hopes that there is 'enough to show Sir Charles Bell as he was, & which I believe will be precious to The Profession.' The selection of the letters was 'by the surviving daughter of Geo Jos Bell', 'which of course I superintended, as far as possible. I have not yet recovered the task'. She concludes by stating that she is 'pretty well' in health, 'considering my more than 80 years. I go out seldom. My sister Mrs Haughton lives with me'.
