Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Some American Medical Botanists: Commemorated in Our Botanical Nomenclature I have written these brief sketches of the lives of some of our great medical forebears who lived in the days when there were giants and when the Anakim lived in the land, in order to while away a few pleasant hours and to wean my fellow doctors and surgeons a little from the pragmatic spirit of the age. The lives of some of these old worthies led them to lift their eyes daily from nature to natures God and to recognize in the Bible the same hand that made the floweret, so that Chaucer´s accusation "His studies was but little on the Bible" no longer held. I would that many of their lineal successors were like them in their piety. My lifelong interest in botany began in the year 1874, with a warm friendship with Dr. J. P. Crozier Griffith at Upland, Delaware County, Pennsylvania. Later, in 1877, we were both medical students when I had assumed charge of a Summer School of Natural History at North Mountain, in Sullivan County, Pennsylvania, together with my lifelong friend, Dr. Lewis H.Taylor, of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.
