About This Book

The memoir presents a chronological account of John Abernethy's life and reputation, blending biographical narrative with condensed versions of his lectures, selections from his published writings, and newly published original documents. The author, writing as a former pupil, combines personal recollection and contemporary testimonials to illuminate the subject's teaching manner, clinical reasoning, and moral character. Intervening commentary addresses professional debates of the time and seeks to correct misunderstandings of his views. Supplemental extracts and documentary appendices are included to allow readers to consult primary materials that support the portrait.
