-Reprinted from Yasgur's Homeopathic Dictionary, 4th edition (Jay Yasgur).

Dr. Wright-Hubbard was one of the foremost homoeopaths of the United States, and in the world. She learned her Homoeopathy from Dr. Pierre Schmidt of Geneva, Switzerland, who had been taught by Dr. A. E. Austin and Dr. F. E. Gladwin, two of Dr. James Tyler Kent's most illustrious pupils. She venerated this great tradition which had formed her, and magnificently served it in her practice and teaching. Her extensive writings are a precious storehouse of homoeopathic knowledge; they will guide and inspire future generations of homoeopathic physicians as they do those of our day. The quintessence of her vast experience and insight has been formulated in this Brief Course in Homoeopathy, to which students and masters alike will keep returning, either to learn or to admire.
