the Ninth British Congress on the History of Medicine was held at Swansea and Cardiff.Twenty-three of the papers presented have now been collected together by Dr. John Cule, the authority on the history of medicine in Wales, to form a volume both scholarly and attractive.As with most books of this type the individual articles are of uneven value as regards content, presentation, scholarship, and documentation.There are several slender pieces, but on the other hand there are a number of important additions to our knowledge of the topic.Of the twenty-three, twelve are concerned wholly or in part with biographical accounts of outstanding medical practitioners or of men of note and influence in Welsh medicine who were either Welsh or had contacts with Wales; they range from the medieval physicians of Myddfai to Sir Thomas Lewis and David Lloyd George.Appropriately there is a group of articles dealing with
