Who was William Baylies?
William Baylies, was an English physician. It is said that the King of Prussia at an early interview with Baylies remarked to him that "to have acquired such skill he must have killed a great many people", and that the doctor replied, "Pas tant que votre Majesté." Baylies died in Berlin on 2 March 1789, and left his library to the King of Prussia. A portrait of him by Johann Heinrich Schmidt, engraved by Daniel Berger, was published at Berlin.
