He received his rudimentary education at home under a private tutor, and was next sent to the university of St. Andrew’s, where he continued his studies under the direction of his uncle, Dr. Francis Pringle, the professor of Greek in that university, and a physician practising there. He then studied for a year in Edinburgh; at the termination of which, being intended for commerce, he proceeded to Amsterdam. During a casual visit to Leyden he heard a lecture by Boerhaave, which made so strong an impression on his mind that he determined to devote himself to physic. He fixed himself at Leyden, and on the 30th September, 1728, was entered on the physic line there; attended the lectures of Boerhaave, and of the other distinguished persons who then occupied the medical chairs in that celebrated university, and proceeded doctor of medicine 20th July, 1730.

Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced as illustrations to be included in a manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. Therefore, a vast majority of original prints have been over the years removed from these original sources. Prints are produced using many different techniques: relief printing (woodcut & wood engraving), intaglio printing (steel & copper plate engraving, drypoint, aquatint, etc), and planographic printing (lithography, serigraphy, inkjet, laser, etc.). While the commercial value of a print depends on such factors as age, rarity, and condition, the real value of a print is its tie to its history and/or its esthetic beauty.
