Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Medical Library and Historical Journal, Vol. 5: June, 1907
At the convivial gatherings of The Club at Ivy Lane at the Turk's Head, and at the Essex Head, where the art of con versation was cultivated, as it never has been cultivated since, there were always medical members present. The disappearance of such gatherings as these, has accompanied the decadence of the gentle art of conversation, which was once the glory of medical men. At these gatherings the first doctor of medicine whom we encounter is Goldsmith. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
