The surgical lectures of George McClellan.
Although McClellan was the founder of a medical school and professor of surgery, his legacy of written material is pitifully small. Gross observed, "His reputation as a surgeon will be in great measure traditional, for he has left no adequate record of his observations and experience". Through notes such as these, we may develop a picture of the state of medical knowledge, the way in which it was taught and perhaps make inferences about the clinical expertise of Doctor McClellan.
