Content Description

Stated as having been typed from the original notes of Dr. Barton, recorded after the point of death. The account is very detailed, and also provides a summary of his contact with the patient in the years leading up to the final illness. From 23rd January 1896 the account reads as a minute-by-minute transcript. It should be noted that two friends were present during the last hours, Val Prinsep and Samuel Pepys Cockerell.
