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
