WITH A LIBRARY CATALOGUE
Laws of the fife medico-chirurgical society.
Cupar.
Printed for the Society, At the Fife Herald Office, by R. Tullis, 1827.
First edition.
8vo.
16pp. Stitched, as issued, in original publisher's powder-blue wrappers. A tirfle marked and creased. Scattered spotting.
The second located copy of the provincially published regulations of the Fife Medico-Chirurgical Society; seemingly the only extant publication issued by the association.
Instituted in 1825, the object of the Society was to 'promote Medical Science, and a friendly intercourse amongst the Faculty in Fife'. The Society met only intermittently, on the first Friday of April, July, and October respectively; this may perhaps account for the dearth of material relating to the body and perhaps the cause of its eventual decline into obscurity. The succinct constitution is appended by a catalogue of the Society's rather meagre library; comprised of fewer than seventy titles, primarily contemporary anatomical and pharmaceutical publications.
OCLC and COPAC combined record a single copy at the NLS.
