Abstract
NOT only the wide range and perennial importance of the work of John Hunter—the surgeon and anatomist whom the clear judgment of Buckle places second only to Aristotle among inquirers into organic nature—but also the fertility of human ingenuity, is shown by the fact that, for nearly a century, every year has seen some eminent surgeon discourse with more or less variety and freshness upon the life and achievements of this graet man.
The Hunterian Oration.
Delivered at the Royal College of Surgeons, by John Marshall., &c. (London: Smith, Elder, and Co., 1885.)
