Excerpt from Sir Victor Horsley: A Study of His Life and WorkVictor Horsley's mother was a sister of Sir Francis Seymour Haden, the surgeon and artist who was founder and first President of the Royal Society of painter-etchers. She was a daughter of Charles Haden, a surgeon in good practice in Sloane Street: he was a great friend of Miss Austen. He died young, but not before he had made a name in his profession. He was a son of Thomas Haden of Derby, one of the foremost surgeons in the provinces. There is a well-known etching of Thomas Haden, by his grandson Seymour Haden, after a portrait by Wright of Derby.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
