Although disgraced in England, Dr Brand Firmin has established 'a not inconsiderable practice' in North America. In a letter to his son, he reports, 'My reputation as a physician had preceded me to this country. My work on Gout was favourably noticed here [i.e. New York], and in Philadelphia and in Boston, by the scientific journals of those great cities. People are more generous and compassionate towards misfortune here than in our cold-hearted island'. (653) | |
