Henry Duncan Littlejohn FRCSEd 1854 was born in Edinburgh, the son of a wealthy merchant. His early education was received at Perth Academy and the Edinburgh High School before studying at Edinburgh University, where he graduated with distinction; part of his medical training was obtained at the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh, as well a period of study at the Sorbonne in Paris. In 1855 he was appointed a lecturer at the RCSEd and, in 1862, Surgeon of Police and Medical Officer of Health in Edinburgh, a position he held until 1908. In 1865 Littlejohn published a report on the sanitary conditions in Edinburgh which became a model for many similar works both home and abroad. Following his appointment to the Board of Supervision, Littlejohn held the position of Medical Officer, which he kept until his retirement in 1908. For over forty years Littlejohn lectured on Medical Jurisprudence at the Surgeons' Hall in Edinburgh, followed by an appointment to the Chair of the same subject at the university in 1897. Littlejohn was also Medical Advisor to the Crown in Scotland in criminal cases, and was frequently

called upon to give evidence in cases of murder and other serious crimes. One of the main legacies of Littlejohn's life and work was the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Edinburgh, of which he co-founded with Dr. John Smith. He also had nine years' service on the Royal Infirmary Board and outside medicine he has strong connections with St. Giles' Cathedral, of which became an elder. Littlejohn's valued and influential

work was fully recognised in his lifetime: President of the Royal College of Surgeons (1875-6), President of the Medico-Chirurgical Society of Edinburgh (1883-5), President of the Institute of Public Health (1893). In 1893 the University of Edinburgh made him an LL.D., and two years later he was honoured with a Knighthood. He died at Arrochar in Argyllshire on the 30th September 1914.

Henry Harvey Littlejohn FRCSEd 1890, the son of Henry Duncan Littlejohn, was widely known as an authority on Medical Jurisprudence and succeeded his father to the Chair of Forensic Medicine at the University of Edinburgh. Harvey Littlejohn was educated at Edinburgh Academy (1873-7) before studying at the university, where he gained an M.A., B.M. and B.S., before becoming a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and President of the Royal Medical College. Following his university education, Harvey Littlejohn spent time as Resident Physician in Edinburgh's maternity hospital, followed by a period of study abroad. From 1888 he assisted his father in the teaching of medical jurisprudence and in 1891 was appointed Medical Officer of Health to the city of Sheffield. In 1897 he began lecturing in Medical Jurisprudence at the Surgeons' Hall in Edinburgh, as well as taking up a lectureship in Forensic Medicine at the Royal College of Edinbugh. In 1906 he became Chief Police Surgeon in Edinburgh and frequently appeared as a witness for the Crown in many High Court cases. Latterly, he became the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine in Edinburgh, as well as a Fellow of the Royal Institute of Public

Health and member of several scientific societies. He died at a nursing home in Edinburgh on the 15th August 1927. Scope and Content Certificates and Diplomas, 1846 and 1906; Correspondence, 1857-1927; Photographs, c1860s-1920s; Publications, 18th/19th Century The majority of the collection comprises correspondence received by Henry Duncan Littlejohn and Henry Harvey Littlejohn, with the exception of a small amount of correspondence between Joseph Lister and John Chiene. The Lister letters were sent to Harvey Littlejohn in 1926 and were found in his personal papers. System of Arrangement A preliminary survey of the collection was compiled in 2003 and a list was created by Dawn Kemp, the RCSEd's Director of Heritage. The collection was re-surveyed by Chris Duncan, a post-graduate student at the University of Glasgow. The collection is now arranged chronologically by individual collection type (i.e. correspondence, photos, etc.), with the inclusion of access points for the majority of the letter writers, many of whom were influential in their respective fields of knowledge.
