Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sir Benjamin Collins Brodie The great surgeon whose life I have undertaken here to pourtray has been dead more than thirty-five years. He was then seventy-nine years of age; so that few are now alive who knew him in his vigour. I am not one of these; but I knew him in later life, for I had occasion, at the commencement of my surgical career, to experience the unfailing kindness with which Brodie always received and helped young men whom he had any reason for thinking earnest in the pursuit of the profession of which he was then the acknowledged chief. Gratitude for these favours, as well as an ardent desire to do honour to one of the great men who have adorned the hospital to which I am bound by so many ties, must be my excuse for undertaking a task from which Mr. Charles Hawkins, his intimate friend, and the editor of his collected works, shrank.
