Synopsis
This study is concerned not with famous doctors and their discoveries, but with the rank and file practitioners: the surgeon-apothecaries of the 18th century and the general practitioners of the 19th. Some common assumptions about the history of the medical profession are challenged in this book, based largely on manuscript sources.

Review
'a formidably well marshalled array of fact. Painstakingly researched and pleasantly written ... Though statistical and scientific in its approach, the book is far from dull ... Dr Loudon is to be congratulated on a valuable and eminently readable contribution to the sociology of medicine. It should be tead by anyone interested in finding out how we became what we are.' British Medical Journal
'This book is fascinating. It is also a work of very considerable scholarship ... Irvine Loudon can be proud of this book and the Clarendon Press have produced it beautifully.' The Lancet
'Irvine Loudon has written an important book and one that is already a standard reference for discussion of eighteen- and nineteenth-century English medicine. Loudon's significant contribution to our understanding of the medical profession and medical practice in England deserves a wide audience.' Caroline Hannaway, Johns Hopkins University, Bulletin of the History of Medicine
