Arbuthnot was a physician and satirist most famous for his John Bull pamphlets which led to the character becoming a national symbol (Angus Ross, ‘Arbuthnot , John (bap. 1667, d. 1735)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/610, accessed 14 June 2011]).

When entering the letter ID, all digits of the letter must be used, including any zeros at the start. That means 79 should be entered as 0079 and 179 as 0179.

 

Using the Letter Browser

The Letter Browser is an excellent way to gather information for a research project, as a starting point for a research question, or as a quick way to gather information for an essay. You can also launch the letter browser to search by manuscript number or Letter ID.

To limit your searches, you can use AND or OR between words or double quotations around a specific word or phrase like “this” that you want to find. From the search page, you can also check off whether you want to search letters only, or other types of information (such as people and blog posts). You can also limit your queries using the category and listed subject options.

If you have already identified a useful letter via a footnote or reference, you can search by manuscript and folio reference. For example, if you wanted to view the entry for Sloane MS 4037, f. 141, enter 4037 AND 141. If you want to look through the letters in Sloane MS 4037, just enter “MS 4037” (making sure to use the double quotation marks).

You can also use the letter ID search from the letter browser to jump directly to a numbered letters that you have already identified as useful.

If you would like to browse the entire collection, then just launch the letter browser and do not enter any search terms.

 

Categories and Subjects

You can search using keywords that you want to find, as described above. In the database, you will find references to names (places, people mentioned, authors, patients), medical occupations, ailments, and more. The category and subject lists provide a good overview of the letters, but it is not exhaustive.

The categories were chosen based on the major themes arising in Sloane’s correspondence. The range of topics reflects Sloane’s social life, charitable activities, intellectual interests, and professional roles and offices. The letters are particularly strong on:

  • the intellectual world, whether about publication, scholarship, or scientific practices
  • medicine, which primarily deals with cases for consultation;
  • curiosities, both objects and medical or non-medical reports of wide interest;
  • sociability and patronage, such as networks between people and personal relationships;
  • collections, including the process of collecting and other collectors;
  • objects, both in terms of material history and the trade of commodities.

The subject list is even wider and describes the contents of letters. For example, it is possible to find subjects ranging from book titles, political events, geographical locations, ethnicities, foreign academies, languages, or autopsies.

The medical problem list is a folksonomy, which is derived from early modern categories and understandings of disease, as well as the descriptions or diagnoses given in the letters. Specifically, the list of ailments focuses on symptoms and body parts.

    Previous Treatment:

    His brother consulted a Dr. Cheyne who advised against bathing in the Bath waters. However, his brother defied him much to his benefit. Thomas noted that his brother had epileptic fits as a child.


    Ongoing Treatment:

    L. Delafaye bathed and drank the Bath waters to relieve constriction and pain in the joints of his hands, arms and legs. He also suffered from gout and took a "trimming diet." On f. 60v, there is a prescription in Sloane's hand for a decoction of milk.


    Response:

    The waters have lengthened his legs a bit so that his crutches were too short. However, the cure was not perfect. His brother had asked Thomas to convey his concerns that his condition would worsen and requested that he ask Sloane how to prevent it. Thomas also noted that his brother's knuckles were splitting and becoming flattened.

  • Description
  • Diagnosis

    Crippled legs and gout. He also noted a white patch above his ankle which was present before he started treatment and so cannot be due to that. He also noted that his joints are swollen in his hands.

  • Treatment
    Previous Treatment:
    Ongoing Treatment:

    He took the waters at Bath, bathing in them daily, owing to the inability to fully extend his legs. He had no pain unless he forced his legs to uncurl, but suffered from gout. He read a dissertation on the various Bath waters by a Dr. Oliver and therefore eschewed the "intense heat" of the King's Bath in favour of the Cross Baths. This made his blood less thin, despite his diet which contained no red meat. He wondered if he should rub linseed oil into limbs. He complained that he cannot go abroad because he cannot sit in a [sedan] chair unless it was specially made to suit his condition.


    Response:

    He was still unable to fully extend his limbs and it still hurt to try. He still had pain from gout. He noted that he met an "old French clergyman" who told him of Sloane's electuary that had soothed his limbs.

  • Treatment
    Previous Treatment:

    Earlier letter to Sloane must have miscarried as he did not receive a quick response.


    Ongoing Treatment:

    He was taking electuary twice a day but it made the night-time "pollutions" worse, so he reduced it to once a day. Sloane also noted the next prescription in the margin, which was another electuary (in Latin abbreviations).


    Response:

    He was much the same (constant gleet/genital discharge), though once he took the treatment once a day the "pollutions" were less frequent. After the pollutions he felt weak.
