Illustrated. From the Preface: Even though a book goes over old ground, it may yet be welcome; and Ambroise Pare�������s life was so full of good works, adventure, and romance, that it ought to be known and honored in other countries besides France. Therefore I have put these notes together, conveying into them the facts that have been established by Malgaigne, Le Paulmier, and other authors. We seldom hear his name in England: save that it is sometimes said he invented the ligature of arteries, which he did not; or he is mentioned in a First of October address to medical students; as was the fate of Hannibal in Juvenal�������s time-Ut pueris placeas et declamatio fias. Such an address, perfect of its kind, given in 1889 by Mr. Godlee at University College Hospital, set me to work on this present venture.
