Benjamin Rush
Excerpt from Benjamin Rush
Time, which destroys so much, has dealt kindly with the fame of Benjamin Rush. Like his great master Sydenham he was distinguished during life, and distinguished not through the absence of able rivals, but owing to surpassing power. But as with all true renown his fame has endured and grown, and it seems not unlikely that he will remain forever with us, not, it may be, as the greatest of our physicians, but as the first of our great physicians.
