Excerpt from The Life and Labours of Sir Charles Bell, K. G. H., F. R. S. S., L.& EScotland, has any history yet appeared of the life and works of Sir Charles Bell. This has em boldened me to place my obscure escutcheon under his illustrious hatchment, not without my own dream of vain-glory, in fancying that I may one day or other figure in some bibliographical note, in return for the hirits or information which a future biographer may extract from this little work.My first sketch has already been considered worthy of quotation by competent judges, such as Messrs. F lourens, Roux, and Magendie, and I have received, through Mr. Henry Reeve¿s the thanks of Lady Bell, which deeply affected me. These, and other incitements, have contributed not a little to the new task I undertake in the hope of deserving them, for in this respect I resemble Sir Charles Bell - I require encouragement before I can advance.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
