VICTOR ROBINSON, M.D. Professor of History of Medicine, Temple University School of Medicine, Philadelphia;
Councit Member, History of Science Society.
N describing a work like Pathfinders in Medicine it is easy to be- come fulsome, for the literary talents and ability shown so un-
mistakably in its production are bound to command the liveliest admiration. In fact, one can hardly refrain from praising such a book in extravagant terms, for it is remarkable from many stand- points. For instance, the interest of the reader begins in the very first page-the first paragraph almost-an interest that never flags and is sustained to the last word. Only a true artist could take the lives of these medical men, great and famous though they were, and paint such intensely interesting word pictures of events that would be essentially commonplace in the hands of a less virile writer. Without being conscious of it the reader, however, quickly falls un- der the magic spell of the author and soon forgets everything but the scenes and tales his art conjure's.
The story of each life with its intimate note is like a sojourn with some old and beloved friend. The details and events that are unfolded seem strangely familiar, and though actually it may be one 's first introduction to them there is a reality to each that makes the reader feel as though he was simply talking over old times and visiting old half forgotten places.
Pathfinders in Medicine is a book that will win a place for its author in the world of letters that will be secure if he never writes another line. No finer contribution to the history of medicine has ever been made and when countless other books on similar or kindred subjects have been read and forgotten, Pathfinders in Medicine will still remain a classic.-H. EDWIN LEWIS, Amnerican Medicine.
