This review is from: Age Of Miracles The (Paperback)

This companion volume to Guy Williams 'The Age of Agony carries the history of medical treatment from the barbarous era of the 18th century through the revolutionary changes which took place in the 19th century.
This book takes a scholarly yet anaecdotal approach to his material.
He covers corpes for dissection, anaesthetics, social history and scientific history.
