Diseases in the District of Maine 1772–1820: The Unpublished Work of Jeremiah Barker, a Rural Physician in New England by Richard Kahn provides a biography of Coffin: "John Gorham Coffin was born in New Buxton, Maine, and apprenticed with his uncle, Charles Coffin of Newburyport, Massachusetts. He practiced in Boston, was an attending physician at the Boston Dispensary, and founded and edited the Boston Medical Intelligencer, a precursor to the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal and later the New England Journal of Medicine. He was also a founder and first secretary of what would become the Boston Medical Library, now part of the Countway Medical Library at Harvard Medical School" (77).…
