Book Description
Excerpt from History of Medicine, Vol. 2 of 2 Viewed from the standpoint of evolution as a whole the goal which mediaeval medicine sought to attain was the collation and elaboration of ancient tradition. Owing to unfavourable influences the West required far longer time for the attainment of this end than did Byzantium or the Islamic nations. Occidental medical art, which had shown signs of deterioration and decadence even in the later centuries of Imperial Rome, dragged out its existence through more than five hundred years of the Middle Ages before manifesting any tendency towards emancipation from the bondage of this intellectual stagnation; it attained to the dignity of a science only at that later epoch when the pre-eminence of the Arabs had begun to fail. Western medicine in the early Middle Ages is, strictly speaking, hardly a subject for the historian of science who would present a coherent picture of progressive events - at the utmost side-lights can be thrown upon medical conditions and literature, in as far as the very scanty information at our disposal makes this possible. Inadequacy of scientific principles, total stagnation of investigation, practice devoid of any lofty outlook, stereotyped and primitive, these are the characteristics of this eras healing art, an art which in its manifestations is almost reminiscent of the earliest stages of medical evolution. Gloomy as is the impression left upon the mind, the close connection of medicine with civilisation as a whole and its historic destiny come unmistakably to the fore, and its fate in this mournful period is bound up more intimately than usual with the spirit of the times. In order to bring the degradation of medical art into relationship with the character of the epoch, no comprehensive description of the historical background is necessary, it will suffice briefly to indicate the most salient events of general importance.

With all its defects, it continued the only manual used in England by midwives before the appearance of Chamberlen's translation of Marigeau's work, con taining an account of the first material improve ment in the art, made about the year 1550 by Am brose Pare, who recommended, in all cross pre sentations, turning the child and bringing it away by the feet; a rule which was farther explained and extended by his pupil Guillemeau, and after wards by Mariceau, La Motte, Peu, Puzos, and other French writers, and has since been generally adopted not only in cross presentations, but in all cases of ooding, whatever the mode Of presenta tion, as well as in those in which the fum's comes down first, and by some surgeons also in cases wherein at present the lever and forceps are most commonly employed.

Excerpt from The History of Medicine, Surgery, and Anatomy, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Creation of the World, to the Commencement of the Nineteenth Century However arid and uninviting the prospect of a History of Medicine may appear at a distance, it will be found gradually to improve, and become full of interest, wonder, and animation, as we proceed. The desert disappears as we advance, and we find our attention irresistibly fascinated by the multitude and variety of the objects which present themselves. The History of Medicine is, in fact, the history of the human species, uncontaminated by those civil discords and fearful atrocities, those crimes and disorders which blot the page of other histories, and stamp man, created in the image of his maker, with the visage of a fiend and the heart of a brute. The History of Medicine, on the contrary, is the history of peace and good will, of endless harmony, and unceasing philanthropy. Instead of recording the desolations of war, and the growth of immorality - the deadly effects of human passions, and the bloody triumphs of senseless ambition - her province is to note the diminution of mortal suffering; and the only triumphs which she records are those obtained over sickness, death, and sorrow.

Book Description
Excerpt from History of Medicine in New York, Three Centuries of Medical Progress, Vol. 2 In Spite of his intimate friendship with Franklin, Governor Col den, probably from his Official connections, continued to be in tensely loyal to Great Britain when the troubles with the Mother Country began. He insisted that the stamped paper made com pulsory by the famous stmp Act must be used, but soon found that the people of the colony were against him. Colden was now a very Old man, past eighty-seven, but he still had pluck, so he re tired to Fort George with a garrison of marines. It is said that he ordered the marines to fire on the populace when they were sedi tious, but the marines refused. In the disturbances which fol lowed, Colden's official carriage as lieutenant-governor was seized and burned, along with an effigy of himself, and it is said also of the devil. Finding life too uncomfortable under the circumstances in New York, Colden retired at the beginning of the Revolution to a large estate which he owned near Newburgh, called Coldenham. Here he occupied himself entirely with his favorite sciences, espe cially botany, electricity and mathematics. His home had been the meeting place for the learned men of the colonies, and his high est pleasure in life had been to entertain them, but the disturbance due to the Revolutionary War interfered with this, and the follow ing year, on September 28th, 1776, only a few months after the Declaration of Independence, the physician, scientist, governor, passed away.
