Excerpt from Records of the New Hampshire Medical Society: From Its Organization in 1791 to the Year 1854 For many years the New Hampshire Medical Society has had a standing committee on the History of Medicine in New Hampshire, and it was for a long time the purpose of that committee to get together material relating to the medical profession in the state from the earliest Colonial period, and to that end much matter has been collected; but, owing to the magnitude of the work and the inability of any member of the committee to give sufficient time to the undertaking, it was, later, concluded to publish simply a history of the New Hampshire Medical Society itself. The committee consisted of: Irving A. Watson, M.D. William Child, M. D. John W. Parsons, M.D. William T. Smith, M. D. Granville P. Conn, M. D. In 1908, the society authorized the committee to publish a history of the New Hampshire Medical Society for the first fifty years of its existence; but at its meeting in 1909, it was voted to amend the previous vote and to authorize the committee to extend the history to the year 1854, the date at which the publication of the annual transactions of the society began.
