About this book
Sir Humphry Rolleston, president of the Royal College of Physicians of London, gave this as the Linacre Lecture at St. John's College, Cambridge, on 6 May 1922, and expanded it for print. He reviews old and recent medical views of old age without discussing treatment: how long people live, when old age sets in, what affects longevity, and the changes in structure and function. A chapter takes up the description of old age in Ecclesiastes. Plates include portraits of people reputed to have lived past 150 years, Thomas Parr among them.
