Correspondence of Dr William Hunter

'[Brock's] remorseless detective work in tracking down letters and identifying references in correspondence is evident throughout these pages.' Medical History 'this definitive new edition collects, collates, translates, and makes available in one place the correspondence of William Hunter ... an excellent compilation of Hunter's correspondence that will serve Hunter scholars for many years to come.' Annals of Science 'Brock has created an epistolary biography of Hunter ... while historians of medicine are certain to find this work of interest, it will also appeal to others seeking a rounded portrait of the period.'
