This book will be of interest to those studying French medical and
Revolutionary history. It traces the life of an early-modern rural
French physician from childhood to death - how he worked as a
physician for six years in North Africa (taking a particular
interest in medical meteorology); sought to establish himself as a
savant in the Republic of Letters by publishing texts and
prize-winning essays; and, despite his bourgeois roots, took part
in the siege of Toulon, became committed to the ideals of the
French Revolution, and volunteered for the Revolutionary armee
d'Italie, mainly working in military hospitals. It concludes with
an account of his time practicing medicine in southwest France,
where he also engaged in local politics, eventually being appointed
to a mayoral position by Bonaparte.
