Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Hunterian Oration: Delivered at the Royal College of Surgeons, 1913
Look at the picture I have gazed at it, in season and out of season, for half a lifetime, trying to guess what was the thought that calmed and possessed his restless mind. And now, at last, I seem to know. For one thought occurs again and again in all his writings, and speaks to-day from his museum to him who grasps the idea of its arrangement. W�at is Life That mystery which baf?ed the intellect of the ancients, and which still, pace Professor Schafer, is awaiting solution.
