To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Dr. Physick's course of lectures on surgery w^as pre-eminently valuable, in consequence of its 72 A MEMOIR being founded principally upon his own practical knowledge and experience, and in consequence also of his discarding all inferences drawn from hypothesis ; besides which his lectures derived an additional attraction and importance from the cir- cumstance that his reputation for stern integrity and strict veracity was so well known and esta- blished, that whenever he asserted facts to be tr...ue, they were implicitly believed. As a letter-writer he w^as exceedingly exem- plary and peculiar. I regret very much that I have not the privilege of inserting a few of his letters in this memoir, in order to let them speak for themselves. His letters in general were re- markably brief and pithy. Having said all that he considered necessary for the elucidation of his subject, he invariably stopped. I have frequently known him to reply to a letter of three or four pages closely written, in about as many lines.
