Book Description
Excerpt from A Biography of Francois Magendie Hopkins University devoted themselves to the study of the lives of several celebrated physiologists. At that time I under took to prepare a paper on the life and work of Francois Magen die. After revision, this paper was published in the Medical Library and Historical Journal (1906, iv, pp. 45-56, 198-206, 292-306, 364-377; 1907, v, pp. 24 As the result of a sug gestion of Mr. Albert T. Huntington, the editor of this Journal, some new material has been added to the biography and the whole is now published in the present volume. To write a really complete and satisfactory biography of Magendie, one should have read far more extensively in the literature of the time than I have done; but as it may never be my lot to take up this study again, I have thought it best to pub lish the work just as it is, in the hope that it may be of interest to the reader and afford a point of departure for the more elabo rate researches oi some future biographer.
