Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Memoirs of Life and Work In offering to the Profession and to the Public these memoranda of the life and labours of a hard-working physician, extending over a period of upwards of sixty years, I think that I am performing a duty, incumbent on all, to make known experiences, which have been neither few nor unsuccessful, in relation to the science and art of Medicine, and may not prove uninteresting in regard to its history. But I feel that some apology is due for the long delay which has postponed the publication to so late a period of my life. My excuse must be the state of my health. The narrative will show how a constitution, never robust, yet endowed with great activity of mind and body, suffered at times from overwork, especially during the ten years´ tenure of the Professorship at University College, and that in the busy life which followed, there was no sufficient recovery from that overstrain, to enable me to fulfil the literary engagements which pressed upon me. Works called for and undertaken, for which materials had been long accumulating, were not completed; editions out of print were unrenewed; and during a period of upwards of twenty years, all available time and strength were devoted to the cares and responsibilities of a large consulting practice. One work I was enabled to produce, through the welcome assistance of my son Dr. Charles Theodore Williams. I allude to that on ´Pulmonary Consumption,´ noticed in Chap. XXXVII. It also has been for some time out of print. At the time of my retirement, nine years ago, I was too much wearied and worn to attempt any great work. But the rest and refreshment which God has vouchsafed to me during the interval, encouraged me a year ago to commence these Memoirs, which, through His continued mercy, I have been enabled so far to complete.
