'''Medical Press and Circular''' was a prominent British medical journal that played a significant role in the dissemination of medical knowledge during the 19th and early 20th centuries. It was known for its comprehensive coverage of medical advancements, public health issues, and professional news.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The '''Medical Press and Circular''' was established in 1838, initially under the title ''Dublin Medical Press''. It was founded by [[Dr. Arthur Jacob]], a notable Irish ophthalmologist, and [[Dr. Henry Maunsell]], a distinguished physician. The journal was created to serve the medical community by providing a platform for the exchange of medical ideas and research findings.<br />
<br />
In 1866, the journal merged with the ''Medical Circular'', a London-based publication, to form the ''Medical Press and Circular''. This merger expanded its reach and influence, allowing it to cater to a broader audience across the [[United Kingdom]] and beyond.<br />
