“No happier selection could have been made than that Mr Paget should become the biographer of Sir Victor Horsley. The author, a man of letters, also possesses the scientific and medical knowledge essential to the theme, and his enterprises in other fields of literature have preserved him from the besetting sins of the medical biographer who makes his book unduly technical, or even dull.”

“There is no doubt that this biography, in the full sense of an overworked word, is an ‘inspiring’ record of a man’s character and achievement; it is the more so because it is always straightforward and concrete, showing the man exactly as he was.”

“It is not too much to say that of the many services which this author has rendered to scientific medicine and surgery none is so important as his biography of Sir Victor Horsley.”
