Recommended Posts

We are sorry, in our list of recent deaths, to comprise the name of Dr. William Buchan. This worthy character was born at Ancrum, in the county of Roxburgh, about the vear I729. He was the son of a reputable farmer, and received a very liberal education at Edinburgh, at the university, of which he regularly studied physic.

He has practised in many parts of England with great success particularly at Sheffield, where he was afterwards appointed physician to the Foundling Hospital in Yorkshire.

About the year 1766, Dr Buchan first published in Scotland that popular work "The Domestic Medicine" where 5000 copies were sold before a second edition could be got ready for the press.
