The Wellcome Trust is the largest and most significant benefactor ever to British medical research, yet few people, even those aware of the international pharmaceutical company that bears his name, know anything about its founder, Henry Solomon Wellcome. His life was an extraordinary story of achievement and disappointment, triumph and sadness, that began in deep poverty in northern Wisconsin in 1853 and ended in his death in London in 1936 as a celebrated and greatly honoured millionaire. His outstanding achievement, with his equally yound partner, the mercurial Silas Burroughs, was to finance and build research laboratories in Britain that made the fame and fortune of Burroughs Wellcome. This biography was commissioned at the request of the Wellcome Trust and is the first to tell the remarkable story of Wellcome's life. **** A HEAVY VOLUME OF 0.96 KILO UNPACKED WEIGHT WHICH MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING COST **** 16 Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
