{15} For a true estimate of Paracelsus you must read "Fur Philippus
Aureolus Theophrarstus von Hohenheim," by that great German physician and
savant, Professor Marx, of Gottiingen; also a valuable article founded on
Dr. Marx's views in the "Nouveau Biographie Universelle;" and also--which
is within the reach of all--Professor Maurice's article on Paracelsus in
Vol. II. of his history of "Moral and Metaphysical Philosophy." But the
best key to Paracelsus is to be found in his own works.
{16} So says Dr. Irving, writing in 1817. I have, however, tried in
vain to get a sight of this book. I need not tell Scotch scholars how
much I am indebted throughout this article to Mr. David Irving's erudite
second edition of Buchanan's Life.
{17} From the quaint old translation of 1721, by "A Person of Honour of
the Kingdom of Scotland."
