Abstract
THIS small collection of essays and addresses is issued by the committee in charge of the memorials of the late Prof. Young. The biographical sketch with which the volume commences is by Dr. Yellowlees, and it is a pleasing narrative of a well-filled life. The history of the years when Young was on the Geological Survey is particularly attractive, though throughout the narrative the reader is impressed with Young's untiring energy. The committee has selected the following essays and addresses for publication:—“Three English Medical MSS.,” “A Discourse,” “The Making of a Book,” “The Scientific Premonitions of the Ancients,” “Jewish Mediciners,” and the “Address on the Hunterian Library.”
Essays and Addresses.
By the late John Young, Regius Professor of Natural History in the University of Glasgow. With a Memoir. Pp. xlii + 143. (Glasgow: James Maclehose and Sons, 1904.)
