Comment by Ed. Samuel Latham Mitchill (1764-1831), "the Nestor of American science," began the publication of the New York Medical Repository in 1797. He was a member of the faculty of Columbia College from 1792 to 1801; later he was professor in the College of Physicians and Surgeons of New York City (1808-26), and in Queen's College (1826-30). He served several terms in the New York legislature, and from 1801 to 1813 was in Congress, part of the time in the Senate.
