Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Memoirs of the Life and Services of Daniel Drake, M.D: Physician, Professor, and Author; With Notices of the Early Settlement of Cincinnati; And Some of Its Pioneer Citizens The volume now introduced to the public was prepared mainly as a labor of love, but not without the hope of contributing something to the common stock of information, and something to the common instruction, by setting forth the example of a man, who, possessing genius, virtue, and science, used them for the most worthy ends. The object of the memoirs was two-fold: first, to trace the career of Dr. Drake as a simple narrative of his life and services; and, secondly, to connect with it a notice of such persons and events as were naturally associated with him. The reader will perceive that there is no labored attempt at style, or philosophical analysis, or portrait painting. These did not suit my plan, nor had I the taste or time for such work. I intended, and hope I have accomplished, a plain narration of the works and character of an eminent man, with whom was connected an interesting portion of our history. Two or three omissions may possibly be observed, for which there are sufficient reasons. It may be seen that little or nothing is said of several heated medical controversies in which Dr. Drake was engaged. For this, it is sufficient to say, that the personal feeling excited by them has passed away, and it would be an ill office to revive it. With Dr. Drake himself, they were passed into oblivion before his death, and his enemies, if any, remained forgiven.
