Scope and Contents:
Contains notes on John Gregory's ideas on the physician's ethical obligations: to maintain humanity, patience, attention, discretion, secrecy, and honor. Also includes notes taken on the published lectures of Herman Boerhaave regarding the five internal and five external human senses, and on fevers. There are several pages containing lists of debts and payments, although it is unclear if these relate to medical treatment, and a list of wheat consumed by Hastings' family.
