这卷书包括21位研究员的权威传记，包括已故的瑞典国王古斯塔夫。通常，科学家的死亡是由各种各样的科学家造成的，但不寻常的是，少数科学家未能达到预期的寿命;特雷弗肖在44岁时死于一次铁路事故。名单上有五名医生，其中三名与伦敦大学学院和医院有关。我们最高的科学家兼医生马克斯·罗森海姆的英年早逝，在医学政治领域急需明智的指导的时候，仍然受到广泛的哀悼。乔治·皮克林爵士作出了平衡而感人的贡献。高尔街对林多·布朗爵士离开牛津感到遗憾，在那里他沉浸在大学管理中，但他温暖的常识性人格渗透到整个生理学领域，他对神经肌肉冲动传递的研究影响了医学的日常实践。F. M. R.沃尔什是从生理学角度描述和分析人类反射的先驱。他是一位出色的临床教师，在写作中结合了学术见解和最流畅和优雅的风格。F. A. E.克鲁毕业于爱丁堡大学医学院，是遗传学和生殖生理学方面的杰出研究工作者。他在很大程度上负责！他在爱丁堡建立了波兰医学院，并以亚瑟·麦克纳蒂爵士为总编辑，承担了英国官方战争医学史的大部分工作。他始终坚持把国家责任放在个人利益之前，赢得了霍格本的赞扬，“他把知识的谦逊和科学的好奇心与作为一个男人的杰出高贵结合起来。“B。A. Houssay有双重的名声。他是一位德高望重的内分泌学家和诺贝尔奖获得者，他勇敢地反对阿根廷的官方暴政，拒绝了北美洲的邀请，当他在布宜诺斯艾利斯的教授权利被剥夺时，他被迫通过临床实践来维持生计。两位对热带医学做出重要贡献的生物学家是Edward Hindle（87）和Muriel Robertson（90）。这位合群的HIindle是一位杰出的俱乐部成员，他在世界上任何一个地方都推动了生物科学的发展，但他最感兴趣的是节肢动物传播疾病。他最伟大的发现是生产了一种有效的黄热病疫苗（他自己也感染了黄热病），他最著名的是将金黄仓鼠引入西方家庭和实验室。Muriel Robertson在Tryipanosometry领域赢得了声誉，但在第一次世界大战中，她因对梭菌和气性坏疽的细菌学研究而闻名。在她生命的最后阶段，她在爱尔兰牛的毛滴虫感染方面的工作同样成功，并取得了重要的经济成果。一位老式的维多利亚时代的有教养的女士，在科学讨论中，她表现出“敏锐的智慧和毁灭性的舌头”（Garnham）。那次铁路事故缩短了特雷弗肖的生命，毁掉了他前途无量的事业。他对红细胞中钠和钾的运动以及视色素的研究将继续下去。基督教对我这三位杰出科学家的生活所起的主导作用值得注意。C. A.科尔森是一位博学家，也是分子内压力方面的权威。L.拉克，鸟类学家和主要的达尔文主义者，都成为热心的基督教宣传者。和N. M.亚当，一个最有前途的生理学家，在皈依基督教科学后，放弃了对生命物质的研究，认为这是不虔诚的，成为表面物理和化学的伟大权威，是洗涤剂工业的教父。这是一本令人兴奋和着迷的书，我不愿意沿着寄给B.M.A.图书馆
This volume includes definitive biographies of 21 Fellows, including the late King Gustav of Sweden. Death claimed its due from the usual wide spectrum of scientists, but, unusually, a few failed to reach the allooted span; Trevor Shaw was killed in a railway accident at 44. Five medical men are in the list, three connected with University College and Hospital, London. The premature death of Max Rosenheim, our supreme scientist-physician, is still widely mourned at a itime when wise guidance in the medicopolitical field is so badly needed. Sir George Pickering has contritbuted a balanced and touching tribute. Gower Street regretted the departure of Sir Lindor Brown for Oxford, where he became immersed in college admninistration, but his warm common-sense personality pervaded the whole field of physiology and his work on neuromuscular transmission of impulses influences the everyday practice of medicine. F. M. R. Walshe was a pioneer in the description and analysis of human reflexes in physiological terms. He was a splendid clinical teacher and in writing combined scholarly insight with a most fluent and elegant style. F. A. E. Crew, a medical graduate of Edinburgh University, was an outstanding research worker on genetics and the physiology of reproduction. He was largely responsib!e for setting up the Polish School of Medicine in Edinburgh, and, with Sir Arthur MacNalty as general editor, shouldered the greater part of the production of the official British medical history of the war. Always insistent on placing his national duty before Ihis own personal interests, he earned Hogben's tribute, "He combined intellectual humility and scientific curiosity with outstanding nobility as a man." B. A. Houssay has a double claim to fame. An endocrinologiist of the first magniitude and a Nobel prizeman, he took a bold stand against official tyranny in Argentina, refused inviting chairs in North AmeTrica, and was driven to make ends meet by clinical practice when denied his professorial rights in Buenos Aires. Two biologists who made imiportant contributions to tropical medicine were Edward Hindle (87) and Muriel Robertson (90). The gregarious HIindle, a clubman par excellence, advanced biological science in whatever part of the world he happened to be but was primnarily interested in the arthropod transmission of disease. His greatest discovery was in producing an effective vaccine against yellow fever (which he himself contracted), and his best known was the introduction of the golden hamster into western homes and laboratories. Muriel Robertson earned her reputation in the field of tryipanosomiasis, but in the first world war she became famous focr her bacteriological work on the clostridia and gas gangrene. Towards the end of her life she was equally suocessful in her work on the trichomonas infection of Irish cattle, with important economic resuats. An old-style cultured Victorian lady, in scientific discussion she displayed "a piercing intellect and a devastating tongue" (Garnham). The railway accident which cut short the life of Trevor Shaw destroyed a career of unusual promise. His work on the movements of sodium and potassium in erythrocytes and on visual pigments will live. The dominant part played by the Christian religion on the lives of Ithree outstanding scientists is worthy of note. C. A. Coulson, a polymath and great authority on intramolecular stresses, and D. L. Lack, the ornithologist and leading Darwinist, both became ardent Christian propagandists. And N. M. Adam, a most promising physiologist, on conversion to Christian Science abandoned ithe study of living matter as impious, became a great authority on the physics and chemistry of surfaces, and was the godfather of the detergent industry. This is a stimulating and fascinating volume, which I was reluctant to send along to the B.M.A. library.
