For those wishing to know: this is William MacOubrey's thesis on Jaundice
written for his 1825 medical degree at Edinburgh University, and published
together with the other student thesises of that year as pamphlets, and
later bound together. I've asked a real classist for a quick opinion and
they say it's good Latin, not just "schoolboy". 1825 was the last year a
student could do a one-year medical degree at Edinburgh: thereafter it was
three years. William MacOubrey became George Borrow's son in law.
All the best,
David,
Very hot and stuffy England, even though the sun has gone down
