N2  - This beautiful volume includes a collection of essays by Dr. Charles Singer, one of the most noted of medical historians. One of the essays is written by Mrs. Singer, who is herself distinguished in the field covered by this book. Many of the essays here included have had previous publication in whole or in part in other ways, but not heretofore have they been so handsomely presented as in the present book. The essays cover such subjects as science under the Roman Empire, the dawn of science, early British medicine, the visions of Hildegarde, and the school of Salerno. In the last mentioned essay Mrs. Singer considers lightly the four legends concerned with the origin of Salerno and with Dame Trotula. She aids thus in removing from medical history some of the fables which have given it romantic interest, if not veracity.
