According to Sir Joseph Hooker, one of the greatest British botanists and explorers, and closest friend of Charles Darwin: "In the work of examining candidates for the East India Company...it heralded the introduction of the open-competition system for both civil and military officers under Government; if not absolutely, certainly for the medical profession."

Very good condition.<br/><br/> English surgeon and pathologist who discovered osteitis deformans, later called Paget's Disease.<br/><br/>
