Disciples of Aesculapius is a book full of biographies of men who have contributed great ideas to the medical field. Some of these men where not Medical Doctors, most where. A couple like John Keats and John Locke where M.A.s. others like Sir Francis Bacon and Erasmus Darwin where natural philosophers or men of science. The book contains great pictures of the people it describes and most of these pictures can be found in Fielding H. Garrisons History of Medicine. The copy I have of Vol 1. is 1901 Dutton and it contains a picture of Dr. Richardson, "the great Makrobiotik Sage" Punch 1879. Harvey, Keats, Gilbert, Wakley, Rush, Vesalius, Boerhaave, Leeuwenhoek, Cheselden, Scarpa, Wiseman, Pare, Mayow, Arbuthnott, Snow, John Brown, Mead, Morgagni, Laennec, William Hunter, Priestley, John Friend, Edward Jenner & Sir Francis Bacon as a Master of Physic are the subjects. He leaves the most important for last, and the History of Life and Death by Bacon is the main work he describes. The book is 424 pages long, Vol. II is also 1901 it ends on page 827. Monroe, Cullen, Black, Bell, John Hunter, William Hewson, Thomas Willis, Digby, Sir Thomas Browne, Sydenham, Robert Boyle, Malpighi, and Thomas Young are some of the notables he writes about in Vol. II.. What a classic book. I, David Johnathan Kerr really enjoyed reading it.
