Abstract
THE Dutch Medical Association, the Leyden Faculty of Medicine and the Society of the History of Natural Sciences of Leyden are organizing a celebration beginning on September 23 to commemorate the two hundredth anniversary of the death of Herman Boerhaave. Visits will be paid to the old St. Cecilia Hospital, where Boerhaave gave clinical lectures, his country house “Poelgeest” near Leyden and the village of Hardewyk on the Zuyder Zee, the seat of the ancient university where Boerhaave presented his inaugural thesis on July 15, 1693. A commemoration volume will be published.
