Review:

To be worth reading, an autobiography should leave the reader with some sense of acquaintance with the author as an individual personality as well as a conviction that his life accomplishments and his picture of his own times chould, after all, be worthy of record.

All of these premises are amply fulfilled by Dr. Finney's book. He has not only lived an interesting and productive life but the conviction is unescapable that he has lived it with continued zest and unflagging interest. Of international repute as a surgeon, is fifty years of active practice have included a panorama of varied experience and an intimate contact wit the development of modern medicine and surgery.
