JOHN W. BYERS
He donates documents from the International Congress of Obstetrics to the Queen's University Medical College (Belfast).
Autograph Letter signed: "John W. Byers", 2 pages (front and verso), 4½x7. Dreenagh House, Lower Crescent, Belfast, 1898 January 7. To "My dear President", in full: "I have much pleasure in handing to you, as the head of my college, the accompanying volumes for the Library. They are the Transactions of the International Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecology, held in Geneva in Sept., 1896. They will, I feel sure, form useful books of reference. With best wishes for this year I am, Very truly yours". Physician and scholar John W. Byers (1853-1920), born in Shanghai to Presbyterian missionary parents, was Chair of Midwifery at the Medical College, Queen's University Belfast, from 1893 to 1920. He wrote many papers, and addressed many medical meetings, on the topic of obstetrics, and wrote an illustrated history of midwifery. Byers's interests extended beyond medicine, however. A President of the Belfast Literary Society and the Belfast Philosophical Society, he did extensive research on the history, language and folkways of Ireland. He introduced study of the Irish language into the Medical School's curriculum. Fold on bottom margin. Stained throughout. Adhesive residue on bottom margin. Corners lightly worn and creased. Toned on outer edges. Surface creases. Otherwise, fine condition.
