History of Westchester County, New York, Vol. I
Lemuel Mead " delivered a dissertation upon Physiology to the satisfaction of the Society."
The records of the society from this meeting to June, 1830, are, unfortunately, lost. The society, I believe, has never failed to convene, at least annually, since its organization. At the present time it holds four sessions a year, each of which is fairly well attended. It has served the general purposes for which it was founded, though it cannot boast of having made any considerable contributions to medical literature. Its publications consist of several editions of its constitution and bye-laws, -- a "Fee Bill," 1868; "Proceedings of the Society at its annual meeting, held in the village of Sing Sing June 3, 1856," 8vo., pp. 50, Sing Sing, 1857 ; and two pamphlets of " Biographical Sketches of Deceased Physicians of Westchester County, N. Y.," 8vo., pp. 52, 1861 ; " In Memoriam," 8vo., pp. 41, 1875 ; and a " List of Registered Physicians," 1881.
The individual members of the society have made no insignificant additions to the literature of the profession. Appended will be found as nearly a complete list of the contributions as it has been possible to make at this time. By this it will be seen that more than a hundred articles, aggregating about twenty-two hundred pages of medical matter, have been put in print by our physicians during the past sixty years.
