Scope and content
Correspondence between Samuel Lane and various St George’s staff and other related individuals, 1829-1849, regarding medical education at Windmill Street School of Medicine and Samuel Lane’s School of Anatomy and Medicine adjoining St George’s Hospital (Grosvenor Street school); establishing Lane’s school of anatomy and medicine, competition for applying for surgeonship at St George’s Hospital, including newspaper cuttings and printed letters to the governors of St George’s Hospital, and a potential merger of the two schools associated with St George’s Hospital (Lane’s school at Grosvenor Street and Kinnerton Street school of medicine which eventually became the official medical school of St George’s Hospital). Correspondents include Benjamin Brodie, Robert Keate, James Hope, James Arthur Wilson, Thomas Tatum, Caesar Hawkins, Henry Ancell and Herbert Mayo.
The partial transcripts for some of the letters were originally published in the St George's Hospital and Medical School Gazette in the 1920s by Robert Rutson James.
