GB 0114 MS0193 Late 18th century- early 19th century Collection (fonds) 1 volume Unknown

"Mr Eyles" cannot be specifically identified, but he is possibly either Albert Eyles, born in 1740, and an apothecary in Cirencester, Gloucestershire; or John Eyles, an apprentice surgeon in 1769. Both these men are listed in Wallis and Wallis, Eighteenth Century Medics (1988).

Dr Joseph Adams, who wrote the original manuscript from which this version was copied, was a pupil of John Hunter. He lived at Hatton Garden, Holborn, and published Life of John Hunter in 1817. Joseph Adams was a corresponding member of the Faculty of Medicine in Paris, a Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians in London, and the author of Observations on Morbid Poisons. He died before 1823.

The volume was lent to William Clift on 4 Jun 1827 to compare with Mr Twigge's and Mr Pearce's copies of the same lectures. The volume was presumably returned to the owner.

Donated to the college by John Tweedy, President of the Royal College of Surgeons, in 1906.

Mr Eyles' copy of Dr Joseph Adams account of Mr Hunter's Lectures on the Principles of Surgery, late 18th century- early 19th century, comprising a manuscript volume of notes taken at lectures on surgery given by John Hunter (1728-1793).
