Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from My Moorland Patients Readers of this book who have become interested in the personality of its author may welcome a short account of his life. R. W. S. Bishop was born and spent his youth at Ripon; entered as a medical student at Leeds (it was before the days of the University), and after some two or three years there went to London and studied at St Mary´s Hospital, whence he qualified as M.R.C.S. and L.R.C.P. in 1889. He then went to Paris, where he studied in the hospitals under Charcot and other famous French teachers. It was at this time that he acquired the love for and fluency in the use of the French language which remained with him to the very last, so that in his dying hours he spoke almost as much French as English. On returning to England he spent some years as assistant to doctors practising in the neighbourhood of Sheffield, and among the Derbyshire hills before settling at Bradford as House-Surgeon to the Children´s Hospital. But he was by nature no townsman, and finally the call of the moorlands was not to be resisted. He was not only a notable angler, but had a real and deep feeling for wild country and for unsophisticated country people. Of his prowess with the rod and his love of nature, a contributor to the Yorkshire Post writes: - "Dr Bishop was widely known in the North, especially to anglers, and his wonderful gift of memory made him ever welcome on a dull day. He was a member of the Yorkshire Fishery Board, the Yorkshire Esk Fishery, and the Yorkshire Angling Associations; also of the Tanfield Angling Club (of which he was Hon. Secretary for many years), and in his earlier days of several other fishing associations... About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
