Jamieson Boyd Hurry was born in 1857 and took his M.D. at Cambridge in 1885. For over 40 years he practised medicine in Reading. His main medical interest was in "vicious circles" in individual and social pathology; he also published several works on the history of Reading and of its abbey. He died in 1930 and his final work, on the woad plant, was published shortly after his death.

Presented by Mrs. Banks, 1938 (acc. 89162).

MSS.2968-2988 are chiefly related to Hurry's publications; the best-represented subject in this block of material is "vicious circles" in disease and in general society. In addition, there are papers relating to Hurry's work on Imhotep (vizier and physician to the Pharoah Zoser) and to the woad plant. MSS.6821-6823 comprise correspondence: on the Japanese edition of Vicious Circles in Disease (MS.6821), on the woad plant (MS.6822) and general correspondence (MS.6823).

MSS.2968-2988 chiefly comprise drafts related to Hurry's publications. Of these, MSS.2968-2986 are held in chronological order of composition. At the end of this chronological sequence come two papers compiled in collaboration with other writers, Allison Weir Cameron (d.1960) (MS.2987) and Emmie Dorothy Fenwick (MS.2988). MSS.6821-6823, comprising correspondence, are arranged with specific topics first, in order of composition: on the Japanese edition of Vicious Circles in Disease (MS.6821) and on the woad plant (MS.6822); followed by general correspondence (MS.6823).

The papers are available subject to the usual conditions of access to Archives and Manuscripts material, after the completion of a Reader's Undertaking.

Photocopies/photographs/microfilm are supplied for private research only at the Archivist's discretion. Please note that material may be unsuitable for copying on conservation grounds, and that photographs cannot be photocopied in any circumstances.
