Hmm...I don't recall seeing the link. (Unless you sent it to my Caraccioli user ID that I haven't logged into in awhile.) Could you post it for one and all to see here?

I currently have almost 20 pages of notes copied into Word for the Surgeon's Primer I'm going to eventually post in Twill. Plus I have another two resource books on their way for the same...

I had planned to copy this material into that journal using my fancy, dancy calligraphy pen...I think I may need a new plan.

I was the one that recommended the book, I believe, due to the many drawings and diagrams.

Yes, the diagrams are most interesting. They really help explain what the author is talking about.

I am still trying to procure a copy of The Surgeon's Mate, which would be absolutely correct to period. I was looking through Twill to see what had been put in there previously and I forgot how picky they can be over reference to period. (I think some of this is fine, but too much is too much. Still, if I can lay my hands on the material from TSM and decipher the spelling and meaning of some of the more obscure words, I think it would be cool.)

U of Mich has one of the 6 copies on Microfiche in the country, but I haven't figured out how to get at it so's I can print it. The thing is also available through ProQuest.com (in what format, I know not), but the only libraries that seem to have access to that are large university libraries. And they seem to be rather prickly about your being a student to access that database...so far. (All this stuff available only to major university college students, most of whom don't understand why it would be at all useful.)
