  1576. Barton, Benj. Smith. His Manuscript Archives of Materia Medica and Therapeutics. Being the Original Manuscript Notes for his Lectures as Professor of Materia Medica in the University of Pennsylvania, to which he was appointed in 1796. These valuable relics of Early American Medicine and Botany are contained in 7 4to and folio Scrap Books, no doubt pasted and arranged by the Author and bound uniformly in half red roan. They are evidently not the entire original series, being numbered 5, 7, 9, 10, 29 and 30, 31, 32. B. S. Barton’s successor, W. P. C. Barton, frequently quotes from these MSS. vols. in his Medical Botany under the term “Barton’s Collections.” It is scarcely necessary to add that the frequent allusion to his contemporaries, especially Drs. Rush, Shippen, etc., as well as passing references to notable cases and events in the World of Medicine, make these unpublished records worthy of perusal and preservation.
