Jeff and other fellow TIPSters -

The article _is_ interesting. I wish it were a bit better referenced.
Do you know which of Roy Porter's histories Gail Hornstein
means? I'd guess that it is either "The Greatest  Benefit to Mankind"
or "Bodies Politic: Disease, Death and Doctors in Britain 1650-1900,"
but I haven't read either book yet, and there seem to be quite
a number of others...

One reviewer comments about Porter: "He has written about a
dozen books in roughly as many years, some of them massive.
They are all  ferociously learned yet utterly readable, and he
hardly ever  repeats himself as far as I can see. How the hell
does he do it?" (-The Guardian, a review of "Enlightenment:
Britain and the Creation of the Modern World)
