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.

SPECIMENS OF THE ILLUSTRATIONS.

OF HUMILITY.
Vice is grown aweary of her gawds, and donneth russet garments,
Loving for change to walk as a nun, beneath a modest veil:
For Pride hath noted how all admire the fairness of Humility,
And to clutch the praise he coveteth, is content to be drest in hair-cloth;
OF BEAUTY.
Beauty is dependence in the babe, a toothless tender nurseling;
Beauty is boldness in the boy, a curly rosy truant;
Beauty is modesty and grace in fair retiring girlhood;
Beauty is openness and strength in pure high-minded youth;
