Letter from the Dumfries surgeon Alexander Copland addressed to Mr Richard Allen at Edinburgh Infirmary describing the final days of the Reverend Marshall followed by a post mortem report on the autopsy. By 'roveling', a word associated with spinning, Copland presumably means "roving in his thoughts", but this usage is not in the OED. | 24 February 1776 | |||
