title: Biographical sketches of some dental practitioners in Germany at the end of the eighteenth century.
abstract: These biographies include those of well-qualified surgeons as well as those with limited theoretical knowledge. Some enjoyed a very comfortable living, were highly literate, producing weighty tomes whilst others were grossly ignorant and could barely scrape a living. They all practised at a time of great change, in both medical care and in society itself.
