Beskrivning

This study is concerned not with famous doctors and their discoveries, but with the rank and file practitioners: the surgeon-apothecaries of the 18th century and the general practitioners of the 19th. Some common assumptions about the history of the medical profession are challenged in this book, based largely on manuscript sources.

'a formidably well marshalled array of fact. Painstakingly researched and pleasantly written ... Though statistical and scientific in its approach, the book is far from dull ... Dr Loudon is to be congratulated on a valuable and eminently readable contribution to the sociology of medicine. It should be tead by anyone interested in finding out how we became what we are.'
