Dr. Davies, one of the most eloquent divines of the age, and signalized no less by his piety than his elocution. Here, although it does not appear that he particularly distinguished himself, he is known to have maintained a very respectable standing, especially when it is recollected that he was the youngest member of his class. In the month of September 1760, when he had not yet completed his sixteenth year, he obtained the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Possessed of a lively imagination, a readiness in debate, and a talent for public speaking, and actuated by the impulse of a laudable ambition.

Excerpt: ...of Vol. 41 of the Rush Manuscripts. In the fall, Dr. Nisbet resigned. The formal resignation is dated October 18, 1785, but the arrangements for his leaving had been begun about a month before.84 As early as September 4th, he wrote to Rush, that he is determined to return to Scotland because his health is wrecked and he will not "be able to be of any service or even to exist in America." About this time he tried to get back his former situation as pastor at Montrose. He indignantly declares that he had not expected to be insulted by the Trustees by being told that they would not pay his passage home. "Sir," he wrote, "I have the magnanimity, weak as I am, not to ask it if I could do without it. But Necessity obliges me and you owe it to your own character and to the character of America, even not to harry us away as felons, or even as unserviceable dogs, when we have lost all our means of subsistence in your service." And he declares that it is highly improper for the "most learn ed man in America to display his learning to the affront of a poor old clergyman.85 '3 Rush MSS., V0l. 42, p. 9. " Rush MSS., Vol. 41, p. 157 and preceding pages. '5 Rush MSS., Vol. 41, p. 145. Nisbet to Rush, Sept. 4, The Board accepted Dr. Nisbet's resignation, and agreed to pay his traveling expenses to Scotland. A committee was appointed to pay his way to Philadelphia, and another, composed of Trustees living in Philadelphia, to pay his passage across the Atlantic. From the same letter we learn that Dr. Davidson was appointed Principal pro tempore.88 For some unexplained reason the ship on which Dr. Nisbet had intended to sail did not arrive when due, and, with the advent of cooler weather, his health...

Book excerpt: The monumental life of Benjamin Rush, medical pioneer and one of our most provocative and unsung Founding Fathers FINALIST FOR THE GEORGE WASHINGTON BOOK PRIZE • AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR By the time he was thirty, Dr. Benjamin Rush had signed the Declaration of Independence, edited Common Sense, toured Europe as Benjamin Franklin’s protégé, and become John Adams’s confidant, and was soon to be appointed Washington’s surgeon general. And as with the greatest Revolutionary minds, Rush was only just beginning his role in 1776 in the American experiment. As the new republic coalesced, he became a visionary writer and reformer; a medical pioneer whose insights and reforms revolutionized the treatment of mental illness; an opponent of slavery and prejudice by race, religion, or gender; an adviser to, and often the physician of, America’s first leaders; and “the American Hippocrates.” Rush reveals his singular life and towering legacy, installing him in the pantheon of our wisest and boldest Founding Fathers. Praise for Rush “Entertaining . . . Benjamin Rush has been undeservedly forgotten. In medicine . . . [and] as a political thinker, he was brilliant.”—The New Yorker “Superb . . . reminds us eloquently, abundantly, what a brilliant, original man Benjamin Rush was, and how his contributions to . . . the United States continue to bless us all.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer “Perceptive . . . [a] readable reassessment of Rush’s remarkable career.”—The Wall Street Journal “An amazing life and a fascinating book.”—CBS This Morning “Fried makes the case, in this comprehensive and fascinating biography, that renaissance man Benjamin Rush merits more attention. . . . Fried portrays Rush as a complex, flawed person and not just a list of accomplishments; . . . a testament to the authorial thoroughness and insight that will keep readers engaged until the last page.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) “[An] extraordinary and underappreciated man is reinstated to his rightful place in the canon of civilizational advancement in Rush. . . . Had I read Fried’s Rush before the year’s end, it would have crowned my favorite books of 2018 . . . [a] superb biography.”—Brain Pickings

Book excerpt: The only full biography of Benjamin Rush, an extraordinary Founding Father and America's leading physician of the Colonial era While Benjamin Rush appears often and meaningfully in biographies about John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin, this legendary man is presented as little more than a historical footnote. Yet, he was a propelling force in what culminated in the Declaration of Independence, of which he was a signer. Rush was an early agitator for independence, a member of the First Continental Congress, and one of the leading surgeons of the Continental Army during the early phase of the Revolutionary War. He was a constant and indefatigable adviser to the foremost figures of the American Revolution, notably George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams. Even if he had not played a major role in our country's creation, Rush would have left his mark in history as an eminent physician and a foremost social reformer in such areas as medical teaching, treatment of the mentally ill (he is considered the Father of American Psychiatry), international prevention of yellow fever, establishment of public schools, implementation of improved education for women, and much more. For readers of well-written biographies, Brodsky has illuminated the life of one of America's great and overlooked revolutionaries.
