Abstract
WE have had to wait a long time for the second instalment of Prof. Neuburger's “History of Medicine”: but it is well worth waiting for. Even though it is only a part of the second volume that he gives us now, it covers the most interesting and romantic phase of the history, a period that few writers could have interpreted with such competence and recognised authority.
