His in depth, chronological history unfolds against the backdrop of the social, medical, scientific, and educational challenges that were occurring around Thomas Hodgkin in England in the nineteenth century. Thomas Hodgkin led a life dedicated to the betterment of those around him. First and foremost a dedicated Quaker, his religious fervor ran deep and was apparent in everything he did.

Zustand: FINE. First printing. A clearly wirtten and comprehensive biography of the physician whose name is still associated with the disease he discovered, but whose other accomplishments are almost unknown today. A devout English Quaker, physician and abolitionist, he was also "a scholar, educator, ethnologist and social reformer - particularly as the "father and founder of the Aborigines' Protection Society," which worked to end exported abuses of native peoples around the British Empire. [This book] portrays Hodgkin's exemplary though idiosyncratic character and multiple activities in an era of economic and sociological ferment that extended to medical practice and education. After years at London's renowned Guy's Hospital as a "morbid" (pathologic) anatomist, he was forced to resign by an elitist, regressive medical establishment that disapproved of his proposed reforms, both social and medical. Deprived of research resources, he continued his humanitarian campaigns until his death in 1866 in Jaffa, where he had gone to work on behalf of poor and persecuted Jews." [Publishers' Weekly] Illustrated with photographs. Extensive notes, bibliography, index. xiv, 344 pp. Fine in fine dust jacket (appears unread.). …
