Published in the early eighteenth century, Herman Boerhaave's Institutiones Medicae was the most influential medical textbook of its time. Boerhaave was a brilliant physician and teacher, and his book provided a comprehensive overview of the medical knowledge of his day. Although much has changed in medicine since Boerhaave's time, his insights into the nature of disease and the importance of careful observation and diagnosis remain just as relevant today.

George Washington is an American hero whose fame is not wholly accounted for by the record of his life. Like Lincoln he was infinitely greater than anything he did. A military genius, he wrested liberty from tyranny; a statesman, he helped evolve a stable government from political chaos; a patriot, he refused a crown. Wisdom, patience, tolerance, courage, consecration to the righteous cause animated his every act.
