Summary information Location and boundaries The Inverleith Conservation Area is located to the north of the New Town Conservation Area, 1.5 kilometres north of the city centre and covers an area of 232 hectares. The conservation area is bounded by Ferry Road to the north, the western boundary of Fettes College, the eastern boundary of Warriston Cemetery and Comely Bank/Water of Leith/Glenogle Road to the south. The boundary includes Fettes College, Inverleith Park, the Royal Botanic Garden, Warriston Cemetery and Tanfield. The area falls within Inverleith, Forth and Leith Walk wards and is covered by the Stockbridge/Inverleith, Trinity and New Town/Broughton Community Councils. The population of Inverleith Conservation Area in 2011 was 4887. Dates of designation/amendments The conservation area was originally designated in October 1977. The boundary was amended in 1996 and again in 2006 to exclude areas which no longer contributed to the character of the conservation area. A conservation area character appraisal was published in 2006, and a management plan in 2010. The Stockbridge Colonies were removed from the Inverleith Conservation Area boundary in 2013 to form a separate conservation area. -

Passages of Medical History. Edinburgh Medicine from 1860
PASSAGES OF MEDICAL HISTORY. Edinburgh Medicine from i860.* By JOHN D. COMRIE, M.D., F.R.C.P.Ed. When Syme resigned the chair of clinical surgery in 1869, Lister, who had begun the study of antiseptics in Glasgow, returned to Edinburgh as Syme's successor, and continued his work on antiseptic surgery here. His work was done in the old Royal Infirmary, for the present Infirmary had its foundation- stone laid only in 1870, and was not completed and open for patients until 29th October 1879. By this time Lister had gone to London, where he succeeded Sir William Fergusson as professor of clinical surgery in King's College in 1877. Another person who came to Edinburgh in 1869 was Sophia Jex Blake, one of the protagonists in the fight for the throwing open of the medical profession to women. Some of the professors were favourable, others were opposed. It is impossible to go into the details of the struggle now, but the dispute ended when the Universities (Scotland) Act 1889 placed women on the same footing as men with regard to graduation in medicine, and the University of Edinburgh resolved to admit women to medical graduation in October 1894. In the chair of systematic surgery Professor James Miller was succeeded (1864) by James Spence, who had been a demonstrator under Monro and who wrote a textbook, Lectures on Surgery, which formed one of the chief textbooks on this subject for many years. His mournful expression and attitude of mind gained for him among the students the name of " Dismal Jimmy." On Spence's death in 1882 he was succeeded by John Chiene as professor of surgery. -

HYSTERIA at the EDINBURGH INFIRMARY: the CONSTRUCTION and TREATMENT of a DISEASE, 1770-1800 by GUENTER B
Medical History, 1988, 32: 1-22. HYSTERIA AT THE EDINBURGH INFIRMARY: THE CONSTRUCTION AND TREATMENT OF A DISEASE, 1770-1800 by GUENTER B. RISSE* I In the introduction to his History of sexuality, Michel Foucault pointed to the eighteenth century as the period in which sexuality became a medical concern and women were, in his words, subjected to "hysterization".' By this term, Foucault probably meant that medicine began to pay greater attention to female bodily functions, trying to explain anew women's behaviour and physical complaints within the prevailing theoretical frameworks of the time. Thus, Foucault's seemingly novel "medicine of hysteria" replaced traditional and popular views based on humours, vapours, and the effects of a wandering womb. In his view, this was just one aspect of the medicalization imposed on eighteenth-century life with its inherent shifts in power relationships which constitutes one of the central motifs in his writings.2 The present investigation started out as an effort to organize a rich source ofprimary clinical material: lecture notes and patient case histories from the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh during the late-eighteenth century.3 The analysis focused on hospitalized patients labelled as suffering from "hysteria", trying to document and perhaps clarify Foucault's ideas on the subject. Using such historical evidence, this study made some rather unexpected discoveries. It not only exposed the ambiguities inherent in the construction of disease entities, but also refuted Foucault's account of the sexualization ofworking-class women, at least for late-eighteenth-century Edinburgh. Before presenting the archival data, however, it will be useful briefly to consider the views regarding women's health and especially hysteria prevalent in the medical literature during the latter part of the eighteenth century. -

Charles Parish collected plants in Burma (now Myanmar) between 1852 and 1878. His orchid collections, both preserved and living plants, were extensive. He sent plant material and watercolour sketches to Sir William Hooker at Kew and living plants to the British orchid nursery of Messrs Hugh Low & Co. of Upper Clapton. H.G. Reichenbach obtained examples of the Parish plant material from Hugh Low and he visited Kew where he studied the Parish orchid specimens and illustrations and many of them were subsequently described by Reichenbach. His beautiful and accurate watercolour paintings of orchids were bound in two volumes and eventually came to Kew following his death. -
5. the Lives of Two Pioneering Medical Chemists.Indd
The West of England Medical Journal Vol 116 No 4 Article 2 Bristol Medico-Historical Society Proceedings The Lives of Two Pioneering Medical-Chemists in Bristol Thomas Beddoes (1760-1808) and William Herapath (1796-1868) Brian Vincent School of Chemistry, University of Bristol, Bristol, BS8 1TS. Presented at the meeting on Dec 12th 2016 ABSTRACT From the second half of the 18th century onwards the new science of chemistry took root and applications were heralded in many medical-related fields, e.g. cures for diseases such as TB, the prevention of epidemics like cholera, the application of anaesthetics and the detection of poisons in forensics. Two pioneering chemists who worked in the city were Thomas Beddoes, who founded the Pneumatic Institution in Hotwells in 1793, and William Herapath who was the first professor of chemistry and toxicology at the Bristol Medical School, located near the Infirmary, which opened in 1828. As well as their major contributions to medical-chemistry, both men played important roles in the political life of the city.

Miners, Moonshiners and Mischief Galore
BRITISH MINING No.39 MEMOIRS 1989 Skillen, B.S. 1989 “Miner, Moonshiners and Mischief Galore” British Mining No.39, NMRS, pp.20-25 Published by the THE NORTHERN MINE RESEARCH SOCIETY SHEFFIELD U.K. © N.M.R.S. & The Author(s) 1989. ISSN 0309-2199 BRITISH MINING No.39 MINERS, MOONSHINERS AND MISCHIEF GALORE Brian S. Skillen SYNOPSIS The uses and abuses of old coal workings were manifold, apart from their uses as convenient repositories for man’s rubbish. A microstudy of early newspapers has revealed another side to early mining and the extra-limitary goings on of the mine workers. Little effort was made to protect abandoned workings in the 18th century; unless easily packed with debris from new sinkings, masters claimed it was uneconomic to fill them up. Open shafts were therefore put to use as common coups and also agricultural disposal. There is evidence that old workings were a dumping ground for rabid cattle, this being practiced in the mining district of Renfrewshire. Rabid cattle were walked to the pit and there slaughtered, their corpses being thrown down.1 As a response to a serious environmental hazard there are parallels to the present day burying of hostile pollutants, the dustbin economy most certainly never changed. Similarly animal cruelty is no different as evidence in the “Dog Pit” at Shettleston, Glasgow: “... merely a large opening in the ground which was fenced around and was so called from the fact that someone had dropped an unwanted dog into its depth.”2 Some of the workings in this area were so shallow that the miners could set their time by the sound of the mail coaches as they stormed by overhead.3 Time was very much on hand for the many who fell down old and unprotected shafts, for they could have a long wait for rescue. -
