Opens your mind to things about which you've always wondered. Do you remember when you were a child and could take whatever ailed you to your grandmother, who, as if by special power, caused all your pains to go away? Well, essentially, this story is about the reflections of a young man who later becomes a doctor, who never forgot how his Mama was able to heal so many grievously ill people with just some herbs from the woods. In time he finds a cure for disease and seeks a patent, only to be impeded and taken on a journey beyond human thought.

The first two essays describe Sir William Jones, a brilliant and engaged man of letters who became an authority on the languages, laws, and literatures of many of the major world civilizations. The next four essays describe Jones's contributions to linguistics, jurisprudence, history, natural science, and other fields. The last two essays address Jones's impact in German- speaking areas and his place in the history of British Orientalism. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
