Publications
James Graham published his first medical tract in 1775, and continued to promote his ideas in print throughout his life. His publications were distinguished by their flowery and hyperbolical rhetoric, and their humane and progressive views on war, slavery, women’s education, farming, religious tolerance and diet. (He was a passionate vegetarian.) Although he was regarded as an eccentric, most of his opinions on these subjects are now taken for granted, and Graham was amazed that his efforts to improve the human species were not better appreciated.
