Description

Harold J. Cook's microhistory shows how a medical malpractice case against an otherwise obscure Dutch physician in London became the center of one of the era's great medical controversies. He shows how society and politics, as well as the scientific and professional uncertainties and jealousies of the early Enlightenment, helped dictate the course of one man's life--and how the actions he took against those forces helped bring down the authority of the physicians of London.
