Abstract
THE object of this volume, as is set forth by Sir Humphry Rolleston in the introduction and the authors in the preface, is not to be a complete history of medicine, but rather “to seize the prevalent ideas of each age of medicine with some notes on the public health, to present them with due regard to the colour of the age, and ruthlessly to ignore minor names”.

By S. G. Blaxland Stubbs E. W. Bligh. Pp. xvi + 253 + 55 plates. (London: Sampson Low, Marston and Co., Ltd., n.d.) 15s. net.
