Presented by Lady MacIntosh, 1992.

At Wellcome Collection: The Early Printed Books collection includes a copy of Numerous cases of surgical operations without pain in the mesmeric state... by John Elliotson MD (1791-1868), physician and pioneer of mesmerism, with a presentation inscription to Blundell.

Described in typescript supplements, by Christopher Hilton and Richard Aspin, to the Library's published finding aids.

From the collection of Sir Robert R. MacIntosh, this item was transferred from C.M.A.C. with the papers of J. T. Clover (MSS.6942-6951) although its relationship with that material is uncertain. One non- contemporary note states that it was in Clover's possession; if so, the author may be Edward Lubbock (1805-47) who attended Guy's before graduating M.D. Edin., in 1826.
