Hi Folks The Edinburgh Medical Graduates list (and other graduates) is published on fiche. I have had a look (1780-1820), but have failed to find George Bell Johnstone. The list is by year of graduation and give the name (not always alphabetical), country of origin and title of thesis - all translated into Latin and not indexed, so I might have missed him. Perhaps more information might be obtained from the records of the two Royal Colleges in Edinburgh - surgeons and physicions - one of which he is likely to have joined. The Wellcome Foundation library (in London) has a comprehensive room for biographical details. Also the records of the East india Company (British Library, London) are likely to be fruitful. I suspect you are too early for the Medical Register and the Medical Directory.
