title: Books and the doctor in nineteenth-century Texas: some early attempts to establish medical libraries.
abstract: This paper describes the nineteenth-century movement to establish medical libraries in Texas. It is concerned mostly with pre-origin efforts rather than with actual achievements. It is hoped that this study will provide the background for histories of the libraries which finally evolved as a result of the earlier effort and interest.
