MANCHESTER

The Manchester Medical Society was officially founded in 1834 at a meeting held at the York Hotel, Manchester where it was resolved to establish a medical library and reading room though as early as 1781, local medical practitioners had exchanged ideas at meetings held in the rooms of the Literary and Philosophical Society. The Medical Society's library numbers well over 10,000 books. It was later donated to the John Rylands University Library and can be viewed as part of “The Manchester Collection”. The books are housed at the Deansgate site. The collection includes a first edition of De Humani Corporis Fabrica (1543) by Vesalius  and the Aldine edition of Galen’s complete works in Greek (1525).
