Francis Adams (translator)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Francis Adams (1796 – February 26, 1861) was a Scottish medical doctor and translator of Greek medical works.

Adams had a practice in Banchory, Aberdeenshire from 1819–1861. Because there were no English translations of the medical tracts of the Greek, Roman, and Arabian doctors, Adams undertook many translations himself, which were widely published.
