Excerpt from An Account of the Life, Lectures, and Writings of William Cullen, Vol. 1 of 2 Among the many eminent Teachers of Medicine to whom this country has given birth, there is certainly no one who, by his Lectures and Writings, has had a greater influence on the opinions and practice of medical men, and on the general progress of medical science, than the late Dr Cullen. It may be justly, therefore, matter of surprise, that so many years have been suffered to elapse since his death, without the publication of any authentic or correct history of his life and studies. To account in some measure for this, it may be mentioned that his eldest son, the late Lord Cullen, entertained the laudable desire to write a biographical memoir of his father, a duty for which he was singularly well qualified, by the intimate knowledge which he had of many interesting circumstances regarding the life, studies, and habits of his distinguished Parent, as well as by his own acknowledged talents for literary composition, and for the observation and delineation of character.
