Gee That's Purdy

Recommended Posts

I am reading John Atkins' book The Navy Surgeon; or Practical System of Surgery and I came across this. I liked it so well that I turned it into a photo so you could see it in its original form. It's from page 327.

Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?"

John: "I don't know."

Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."

"I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell... I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers
