After years at London's renowned Guy's Hospital as a "morbid" (pathologic) anatomist, he was forced to resign by an elitist, regressive medical establishment that disapproved of his proposed reforms, both social and medical. Deprived of research resources, he continued his humanitarian campaigns until his death in 1866 in Jaffa, where he had gone to work on behalf of poor and persecuted Jews." [Publishers' Weekly] Illustrated with photographs. Extensive notes, bibliography, index. xiv, 344 pp. Fine in fine dust jacket (appears unread.). …
