Kirby and Maurice Colles were honorary surgeons. Its first premises was at 43 Bride Street and it continued there until 1846.

One of these, the Ledwich School , was incorporated into the hospital in 1894. The Adelaide hospital was a general teaching hospital for many years and in the forefront of medical advances.

Product Description
The Georgia Coast is one the most intriguing areas of theUnited States. A land of sluggish rivers, murky blackwater swamps, andstudded with a string of islands, it is the home of a special breed ofpeople. They are as wild, reckless, exciting, beautiful, andcontradictory as the land itself. One thing is for sure: both nativesand visitors love it. But the story of this land is one that is oftenknown about only in legend and hearsay, in stories and novels, andeven in a few dissertations.

By focusing on James Hamilton Couper, James Bagwell paints a portraitof the Georgia Coast during the late eighteenth century through themiddle of the nineteenth century. Coupers family was originallyfrom Scotland, where the story actually begins, but settled on theGeorgia Coast. When James Hamilton Couper was grown, he attended Yale,but returned to make a name for himself and his plantation inpolitics, plantation management, scientific agriculture, archaeology,and architecture. Bagwell also discusses the role of Couper as a slaveowner and slave-life on the plantation.

But the book is more than about Couper; he is simply the pivot of thebook. The real story here is the Coastal land itself: socially,economically, religiously, and politically. From the colonial days onthe coast through the American Civil War, Bagwell has written acompelling story of a most enigmatic land: the Georgia Coast. ... Read more

Rice Gold is certainly worth a read
As a Georgia 'native' and historian with a deep interest in the field, I found this to be a fascinating text. But I would certainly agree that you have to have an interest in the topic--in which case it is well worthbuying and reading.
