SynopsisExcerpt from Ambroise Pare and His Times: 1510-1590 By help of text-books of history, and the memoirs of Pierre de l'estoile, I have made a sort of back ground of the times in which his fourscore years were spent. I had intended to set the 7our7zeys in Diverse Places at the beginning of this book, making the rest of it a commentary upon them; but it seemed better, after all, to give them their proper place in the story of his life. Yet they, of course, are the one thing here to be read again and again. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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. To Malgaigne, who edited Pare's works in 1840, and to MM. Le Paulmier, Begin, and Turner we owe our knowledge of the details of his life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
