Reminiscence Life Of A Country Doctor PDF Download

Excerpt from Reminiscences of a Country Doctor, 1840-1914 IT was scarcely to be expected that one who had been so favourably received in his former literary efforts by those competent to judge should 'not again obtrude himself by a further appeal to their sympathies, more especially as it had been fre quently suggested by perhaps too partial friends that he should put on record some account of his recollections of early times in the form of Memories or Reminiscences. Acting on these promptings, I have collected to gether a number of incidents and experiences from my Diary, or Omnium Gatherum, all of them real, several historical, which, though presenting nothing of a sensational character, may still possess some interest to those students of the newer generation who evince a desire either to compare or contrast the present with the earlier customs, or consider the wonderful progress civilization presents, as revealed in the records the earlier peoples have left behind them.
