About the book >.>.> James Paget was born at 4 p.m. on 11 January 1814 in a mansion on South Quay in Great Yarmouth Norfolk. His father Samuel was a prosperous merchant and had completed the building of the house on the site of his original one the previous year. Yet within ten years Samuel’s businesses were failing and James was unable to attend Charterhouse School in London where his elder brothers had been educated. Nevertheless James went on to become one of the leading and most respected surgeons of his day. To understand how this was achieved we need to look at Great Yarmouth in the early part of the nineteenth century and at his parents and siblings before tracing his life. His story illustrates what can be achieved by determination and hard work. (LL)
