Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Guy´s Hospital Reports, 1921, Vol. 71 Richard Bright was born at Queen Square, Bristol, on September 28, 1789. He was the third son of Richard Bright, who lived at Ham Green, Somerset, and was a member of the banking firm Ames, Bright and Cove. Young Bright went to school at Bristol and Exeter, and in 1808 began to study medicine at Edinburgh. In 1810 he accompanied Sir George Mackenzie to Iceland and wrote the botanical and zoological parts of Mackenzie´s Travels in Iceland. The book is beautifully illustrated, and some of the smaller drawings arc by Bright. Mackenzie speaks of his pleasing manners, his cheerful and ready exertion, and his undeviating good humour. On his return he lived for two years in the house of one of the resident officers in Guy´s Hospital, where he continued his medical studies, reading a paper before the Medico-Chirurgical Society on cases of erysipelas he had seen at Guy´s between May and July, 1811. In the same year he also read a paper before the Geological Society on the strata in the neighbourhood of Bristol. In 1812 he returned to study at Edinburgh and graduated M.D. on September 13 with a thesis on erysipelas. From Edinburgh he went to Cambridge and was two terms at Peterhouse, but left there to come to London, where he became a pupil at the Public Dispensary under Dr. Bateman. In 1814 he started on a tour through Holland, Belgium, Berlin, Vienna, Austria and Hungary, and on his return in 1815 he arrived at Waterloo a fortnight after the battle. He observed and studied everything he came across, medical or otherwise, and in 1818 published Travels from Vienna through Lower Hungary, with some remarks on the state of Vienna during the Congress in the year 1814. The book is a well-printed quarto of over seven hundred pages, entertaining as an account of travel and full of detailed information which ought to be of value to students.
