4i8 APPENDIX D 



MANUSCRIPTS 



Fothergill's papers and manuscripts remained in the hands 

 of his niece Alice Chorley until her death at a great age in 

 1828, after which they seem to have been dispersed, sold or 

 lost. A large number of his letters have however been pre- 

 served in various manuscript collections on both sides of 

 the Atlantic, and these are referred to in the footnotes to this 

 work, as follows : 



(1) Frds. Ref. Lib. Many letters, including especially the 

 Crosfield MSS. used by G. Crosfield and others, are in the Friends' 

 Reference Library, Devonshire House, Bishopsgate, London. 



(2) Etting MSS. A large collection, chiefly letters to James 

 Pemberton, Philadelphia : now in the Library of the Historical 

 Society of Pennsylvania in that city. 



(3) Bartram MSS. Letters to J. and W. Bartram and others : 

 in the same Library. 



(4) Amer. Phil. Soc. Some letters in the Library of the 

 American Philosophical Society, Philadelphia. 



(5) The Gilbert MSS. contain some letters, preserved at the 

 College of Physicians, Philadelphia. 



(6) C. Roberts' MSS. Haverford College, Pennsylvania. 



(7) /. M. Fox MSS. Letters in Mr. Joseph M. Fox's library, 

 Philadelphia. 



(8) Alston MSS. About fourteen letters are among the MSS. 

 relating to Fothergill's old teacher, Dr. C. Alston, Professor of 

 Botany at the University of Edinburgh ; they are preserved in 

 the Library of the University. These were brought to the 

 author's notice by Professor I. Bay ley Balfour, who very kindly 

 forwarded copies to him. 



(9) Hunter-Baillie MSS. At the Royal College of Surgeons, 

 London ; two letters to Dr. W. Hunter. 



(10) Miss Mabyn Fothergill, Edinburgh, possesses some letters. 

 (n) A few letters are among the David Barclay MSS. in the 



hands of Mr. J. H. Gurney. 



The author has enjoyed ready and constant access to the 

 Friends' Reference Library, whose librarian, Norman Penney, 

 and his assistants have helped him much ; a similar debt is 

 owed to the Library of the British Museum. Amongst the 

 medical libraries of London, constant use has been made 

 of that of the Royal Society of Medicine, in the charge of 

 Mr. J. Y. W. Macalister and of Mr. C. R. Hewitt, as well as 

 those of the Royal College of Physicians (Dr. Arnold Chaplin, 

 Harveian Librarian), of the Royal College of Surgeons (Mr. 

 V. G. Plarr, Librarian), and of the Medical Society of London
