Moran’s lecture on the history of lunacy trials in the trans-Atlantic world was extremely well attended and provoked interesting discussion with members of the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reception also marked the official opening of the first of two exhibits that will accompany the Shannon Lectures this year.  This is an exhibit provided by the Pinhey’s Point Foundation, which partners with the City of Ottawa in operating Pinhey’s Point  Historic Site on the Ottawa River near Dunrobin.  Entitled ‘Remedies, Elixirs, and Medical Men’, the exhibit details the lives of medical men in the locally prominent Pinhey, Hill, and Christie families, set in the context of the changes that took place in medical treatment over the course of the 19th century.  Several descendants of these families joined us for the exhibit opening.  L-R:  Charles Christie Hill (recently retired as Curator of Canadian Art at the National Gallery of Canada), sisters Lorna St-Louis and Margo Plant, and their cousin Laurel Cholmsky.  Several medical books from Hamnett Pinhey’s library, the earliest dating from 1712, were on view for the afternoon.  They have been replaced by reproductions for the remainder of the exhibit’s run.  The exhibition continues through December on the fourth floor of Paterson Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
