Samuel Hahnemann: His Life and Work

Haehl’s two-volume biography (London: Homoeopathic Publishing Co., 1922; English translation by Marie L. Wheeler and W.H.R. Grundy, edited by J.H. Clarke and F.J. Wheeler) is the document-based standard life of Hahnemann and is used here as the source that names the venue and original German title of the 1796 essay in which the homeopathic principle first appeared in print: Hufeland’s Journal der practischen Arzneykunde und Wundarzneykunst. Because the publisher and several editors were themselves homeopaths, the biography is treated as a documentary and bibliographic reference only; the case’s evidentiary judgments rest on the controlled-trial and review literature cited separately (Stolberg 2006; Shang 2005).
