This book is a rare gem. It is the story of Dr Robert Storrs a family doctor in Doncaster in the first half of the 19th C. Unusually for the time he left detailed notes about his most interesting cases. He was ahead of his time in much of his medical thinking. The other source for this book is the 131 letters written between Robert and his wife Martha which are full of life, love and other observations of about life of the time. This book was written by a great, great grandchild of the subject who inherited the doctor's caseboks and letters. Ref YYY 2.
