Edward Coleman Lectures

Edward Coleman (1766-1839) became head of the London Veterinary College in 1794. Between November 1821 and January 1822 he gave a series of lectures on the anatomy, physiology and diseases of the horse.

This collection consists of digitised images of notes from these lectures made by Edmund Gabriel, one of his students. Gabriel would later become the first Secretary of the RCVS, from 1844 to 1861.
