Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Harveian Oration: Delivered Before the Royal College of Physicians of London on October 18, 1901 Mr. President, Fellows of the College, And Gentlemen honouring us by your Presence To-Day. It has long been the custom in the several ancient colleges of our universities to commemorate the founder and the benefactors on some particular day. The members of the College are assembled, the history of the Foundation is related with due solemnity, and the names of the benefactors are mentioned with honour and gratitude. Dr. William Harvey, the illustrious man by whose injunction we are assembled to-day, was familiar with this custom, for it was enjoined by the founder of his College at Cambridge, Dr. John Caius, a physician who not only possessed learning, but venerated it, and had considered those ceremonies and decorations which are as appropriate to learned societies as the fine paper, well- formed type, and beautiful bindings, in which great scholars and great readers such as Aldus and Grolier and Thuanus and Bentley delighted to see good literature clothed.
