Printed application by Robert Milne for post of assistant surgeon at London Hospital, with testimonials from Frederic Eve, T. H. Openshaw, Percy Furnivall, A. B. Roxburgh, Francis Warner, Arthur H. N. Lewers, Bertrand Dawson, and two others.

4to, 10 pp. On one side each of ten leaves, attached to one another with a pin. Texts clear and complete. Fair, on aged paper, with light rust staining to the first leaf, which carries Milne's printed covering letter. The other nine leaves carry a testimonial letter each (the last two being by Henry Russell Andrews and Hubert M. Turnbull), all couched in glowing terms. Eve describes Milne as 'one of the best House-Surgeons I have ever had', and Bertrand Dawson states that his 'record is one of brilliant success'. Milne's application was successful, and he continued to work at the London Hospital until his retirement in 1942. For information on Milne, see his obituary in the British Medical Journal, 15 October 1949. He was the son of Robert Milne (1849-1922), Chief Medical Officer for Barnardo's Homes and Hospitals, for thirty-nine years between 1880 and 1919.
