Manuscript bibliography of books on medicine compiled by Dr F.H. Jacob (fl 1872-1935), physician; early 20th century.

Dr F.H. Jacob records in this bibliography a manuscript listing of works on medicine, possibly drawing on the library of the Nottingham Medico-Chirurgical Society. The entries, written in blue ink on loose leaves of paper, have limited bibliographic detail for each work, generally providing only titles of works and the names of the authors. Jacob has, however, included his personal assessment of each work, together with a brief description of its content. The bibliography is undated. It was presumably compiled after 1901 when Jacob took up his role as honorary physician for the General Hospital, Nottingham, and possibly in the later years of his career.

Frank Harwood Jacob was born in Pembrokeshire in 1872, son of Rev. S.H. Jacob and was educated at King's School, Ely. He was made honorary physician at Nottingham General Hospital in 1901 and was an active member of the Nottingham Medico-Chirurgical Society. Jacob was a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians.
