Zweite Auflage! - Osnabrück, Verlag der Rackhorst'schen Buchhandlung, 1843, 8°, XI, (1), 101 pp., Leinenband d.Zt.; etwas felckig. Hermann Vezin (1797-1861), "Arzt in Osnabrück, daselbst am 16. October 1797 geboren und am 13. Februar 1861 gestorben, widmete sich anfangs der pharmaceutischen Laufbahn, ging 1818 in Göttingen zum Studium der Medicin über, promovirte daselbst 1821, machte darauf ein Jahr lang wissenschaftliche Reisen mit längerem Aufenthalt in Paris und ließ sich 1822 in seiner Vaterstadt als Arzt nieder, wo er bald eine größere und namentlich geburtshülfliche Praxis erlangte. In dem berüchtigten Cholerajahre 1831 ging er zum Studium dieser Krankheit nach Berlin und gab nach seiner Rückkehr eine kleine Schrift über Verhaltungsmaßregeln bei dieser Krankheit heraus, wodurch er viel zur Beruhigung der Gemüther seiner Landsleute beitrug. In Anerkennung seiner aufopfernden Thätigkeit wurde er zum Ehrenbürger seiner Vaterstadt, 1833 zum Hofmedicus sowie zum dirigirenden Arzt des städtischen Krankenhauses ernannt. In dieser Stellung wirkte er 20 Jahre lang außerordentlich segensreich. Nachdem er längere Zeit das Landphysikat verwaltet hatte, erhielt er 1850 den Titel eines Medicinalraths, wurde 1853 Obergerichtsphysikus und Mitglied der Landdrostei für Medicinalangelegenheiten und machte sich in dieser Eigenschaft um die Verbesserung der hygienischen Verhältnisse seiner Vaterstadt insbesondere auch dadurch verdient, daß er 1859 bei abermaligem Ausbruch einer Choleraepidemie die Initiative zur Gründung eines zweiten Krankenhauses, des jetzigen (kathol.) Marienhospitals, ergriff, das er selbst bis zu seinem Tode dirigirte und besonders zu einer Musteranstalt für Krankenpflege durch barmherzige Schwestern ausbildete. Vezin war neben einer ausgedehnten privatärztlichen Wirksamkeit auch als Schriftsteller in außerordentlich fruchtbarer Weise thätig. Seine Arbeiten bewegen sich theils auf dem Gebiet der Chirurgie und Geburtshülfe, theils auf dem der gerichtlichen Medicin bezw. der Staatsarzneikunde und der Gesundheitspflege. Auch als Uebersetzer mehrerer ausländischer medicinischer Schriften ins Deutsche verdient V. Erwähnung. Er veröffentlichte u. A.: "Vorschriften, wie man sich beim Herannahen und während des Herrschens der Cholera zu verhalten u. s. w." (Osnabrück 1831); "Die Frage: Bedarf das Königreich Hannover einer zweiten Irrenanstalt und wo?" (Ebd. 1858); "Ueber die Behandlung der Amputationsstümpfe" (Deutsche Klinik 1856); "Ueber Krankenhäuser, die Krankenpflege durch christliche Genossenschaften und über die Wirksamkeit französischer, englischer und russischer Frauen in den Hospitälern der Krim und der Türkei" (Münster 1858)." Julius Bagel, ADB XXXIX (1895), pp. 666-667.

Hermann Vezin. Sir J. Forbes-Robertson described Vezin in the London Post as a "bright and dapper little man, who was both "learned and dictatorial on the art of acting." The Illustrated London News review of Vezin in the title role of Dan'l Druce, Blacksmith noted that "Mr. Vezin is probably the most intellectual of our actors, and is the very man for creating an original part, such as that of Dan'l Druce" and described one scene as "an acting hit by Mr. Hermann Vezin which literally electrified the house." He was one of W. S. Gilbert's favorite actors. and, besides the aforementioned Dan'l Druce, Blacksmith, he also starred in Gilbert's Randall's Thumb, (1871), and played Mousta in an 1882 revival of Broken Hearts alongside Gilbert himself as Florian (due to an accident incapacitating Kyrle Bellew). Hermann Vezin (March 2, 1829 June 12, 1910) was an American actor, teacher of elocution and writer. He was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Vezin graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with an A.B. in 1847 and later a master's degree in 1850. Vezin was determined to work as an actor and departed America for the UK shortly after graduation. He made his first appearance at the York Theatre Royal in St Leonard's Place, York, England. After playing minor roles in several provincial engagements, he began performing leading characters as Cardinal Richelieu, Sir Edward Mortimer, Claude Melnotte, and Young Norval. He made his London début in 1852 at the Princess's Theatre. On February 21, 1863, at St Peter's Church, Eaton Square, he married the former child actress, English-born Jane Elizabeth Thompson who, appearing as an adult under the name Mrs. Charles Young, had made a reputation as an actress both in Australia and in England. They appeared in many plays with together until her death in 1902. Together they had a son, the silent film actor, Arthur Vezin. Apart from a brief professional tour of the United States in 185758, the majority of Vezin's acting career took place on the English stage. Though primarily an actor, in 1866 he collaborated with the playwrights W. G. Wills and James Albery to write the vaudeville inspired play Doctor Davey based on the 1842 play Le Docteur Robin by French writer Jules de Prémaray in which he also played the title role. The following year he starred as a troubled Scottish poet James Harebell in Wills' Man o' Airlie (1867) to overwhelmingly positive reviews. Vezin followed up with other successful showings, such as The Turn of the Tide by F. C. Burnand (1869), Son of the Soil (1872); As You Like It (1875); and W. S. Gilbert's Dan'l Druce, Blacksmith, which ran for one hundred and nineteen performances at the Haymarket Theatre (1876, also a revival in 1884); He acted alongside actress Ellen Terry in Wills' Olivia, Vicar of Wakefield (1878), a highly successful adaptation of Oliver Goldsmith's novel, The Vicar of Wakefield (1766). A benefit matinee was held for Vezin at the Haymarket Theatre on March 19, 1896. For this, George Grossmith gave a sketch, and play scenes featured Gerald du Maurier, Herbert Beerbohm Tree and Cyril Maude, among others. Vezin continued to act, appearing in The Happy Life in 1897 and as Rowley in The School for Scandal opposite Herbert Beerbohm Tree in 1909. In his declining years, Vezin appear infrequently on the stage, rather spending most of his time giving lessons to aspiring thespians, including the actors Herbert Beerbohm Tree, Baliol Holloway and Frank Benson as well as the actress Mary Mannering. He also dedicated himself to appearances at recitals and play readings. His last stage role was Old Rowley in Tree's production of playwright Richard Sheridan's The School for Scandal at His Majesty's Theatre in Scotland, in April 1909. He had been active on the British stage for nearly sixty years. Single sheet, written on one side Original manuscript signed by the author.
