The Benjamin Rush lecture notes consist of 34 notebooks kept by medical students at the University of Pennsylvania, which
record the content of academic lectures delivered by Dr. Benjamin Rush (1745-1813). Rush, a socially and politically prominent
physician who lived and practiced in Philadelphia, served as a professor at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine
from 1769 to 1813. The handwritten lecture notes in this collection (recorded between 1783 and 1810) present the era's conventional
medical wisdom on the causes, symptoms and cures of a range of diseases and disorders.
