Description
Excerpt from Surgical Memoirs of the Campaigns of Russia, Germany, and France
A few remarks, tending to point out the various public stations which our distinguished author has occupied in the capacity of surgeon may, perhaps, be the most appro prlate introduction to the following pages. His experience, thus made known, cannot fail to strike every one as hav ing been most remarkably extensive. Rare are the exam ples of medical writers, either of this or any preceding epoch, who can justly assert higher claims to celebrity than Baron Larrey. Bold, enlightened, and abounding in expedients as a surgeon, devoted and energetic as an offi cer, he enjoyed a pre-eminent reputation in the eyes of Napoleon. Genius is quick in detecting genius, and does'' not give credit for intellect, where intellect does not exist.
