20 pamphlets bound in one, nineteenth-century buckram. George Buchanan (1827-1906), surgeon, son of Moses Steven Buchanan (1796?1860) surgeon to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary and lecturer on anatomy in the Portland Street medical school from 1836 to 1841, when he was appointed professor of anatomy in the Andersonian University. George Buchanan was educated at the University of Glasgow and went on to study under his father and others at the Andersonian University, he became M.D. St. Andrews and L.R.C.S. Edinburgh, and in 1852 fellow of the Royal Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow. "In early life Buchanan volunteered to have chloroform anaesthesia demonstrated on himself, when his father performed a minor operation on him. He began to practise in Glasgow, but in 1856 he went to the Crimea as a civil surgeon. He returned to Glasgow at the end of the war, and was one of the first to practise there purely as a consulting surgeon. In 1860, when he succeeded his father as professor of anatomy in the Andersonian University, he was also appointed surgeon to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary. He soon became known as a bold and skilful operator, and as a good teacher. He was the first to point out (in 1865 and 1867) the possibility and safety of removing half the tongue in cases of cancer, and he was among the first surgeons to remove the upper jaw (in 1864 and 1869). He gave reasons for preferring lithotrity to lithotomy in operating for stone in the adult male, in 1868, and he was the first to perform ovariotomy successfully in the west of Scotland, in 1863."?(Oxford DNB). 1.

Approx. 400 words and is near fine with some light foxing tiny tears and creasing with all words intact. The account begins with a short description "Departed this life on the 10th inst. Hannah L. daughter of Ezekiel Moore in the 16th of her age. On wensday sic preceding her death the writer of these lines was called upon to visit her and it proved to him both a profitable and pleasing visit". After this the letter is primarily focused on the More's condition and her acceptance of death "I found her in a state of uncommon resignation to the will of God patiently waiting the hour of her departure. I want the the sic will of the lord to be done whether I live or die". Heathcote writes that More asked him to preach at her funeral and for two hymns to be recited "Come humble sinner in whose breast a thousand thoughts resolve" and "When thou my righteous Jude shall come". Heathcote documents More's interactions with her family and friends before commending her on her devoutness to God. He writes finally that he is happy to have gotten to see her and finishes with "Let me die the death of the righteous that my latter end may be like his". Reverend Charles John Heathcote was born in Middlesex England in 1796 and followed in his father's footsteps by becoming a reverend. He wrote one book of sermons and hymns Last Sermons: Late Incumbent of St. Thomas and passed away at the age of 77 after practicing as a reverend in his home town for the duration of his life. An interesting and empathetic account of a young woman's death from a reverend in England during the 1820s. unknown
