Légende

Edward Binns, 1838. Edward Binns (1804-1851) was born in Jamaica and graduated from medical school in Edinburgh in 1828. He was a Quaker who became a staunch abolitionist. He was living in London in 1841, but died in 1851 in Lucea, perhaps treating patients during a cholera outbreak; he himself was a victim of the disease. He was the author of "Prodromus towards a philosophical inquiry into the intellectual powers of the negro", [London 1844], and of "The anatomy of sleep, or, the art of procuring sound and refreshing slumber at will", [London 1845]
