Life

Jacobus Cornelis Broers was the son of Jacobus Cornelis Broers (* 1773 in Amsterdam; † April 12, 1815 ibid) and Francisca Sophia de Rochefort (* 1773 in Soest; †?). He had already received an extensive education at home. After attending the Latin school in Utrecht, he went to the University of Utrecht on December 28, 1810 to study medical sciences. Here he was instructed by Nicolaas Cornelis de Fremery and Jan Bleuland to prepare pathological specimens. In 1815 he took part in the defense of his fatherland, where he received the sergeantmajoor level . As early as April 2, 1817, in Utrecht, he had a crowned award paper on the pathology by Hieronymus David Gaub under the title Dewijl in de leer van Gaubius de morbis solidi vivi, hoewel zeer gewigtig, nu nog veel gevorderd, zoo als uit de waarnemingen blijkt , the omtrent de levenskracht na hem gedaan zijn; vraagt ​​men, what the waarnemingen hebben bijgebagt, om the empty zoo uit te broad as te volmaken published.

On November 10, 1818 he received his doctorate with the treatise Specimen medicum chirurgicum de causis, our Laesionibus Capitis, quae initio haud periculosae videbantur, frequenter sero symptomata gravia, in mortem desinentia, accedunt to the doctor of medicine. After completing an educational trip to Paris and some German universities, he settled as a doctor in Zeist . On September 25, 1826 he was appointed by a royal decision by the curators of the University of Leiden to be professor of surgery and obstetrics, whose chair he took up on December 2, 1826 with the speech Oratio de Chirurgiae studio cum cultu et humanitate conjungenda . As a teaching staff at the Leidner University, he also participated in the organizational tasks of the university and was rector of the Alma Mater in 1834/35 . Apparently its importance lies rather in the practical area, because only the independent work Observationes anatomico-pathologicae (Leiden 1839) is known.

He was also a member of several learned societies. For example, his membership in the provincial Utrecht Society of Arts and Sciences (Dutch: Provinciaal Utrechtsch Genootschap van Kunsten en Wetenschappen ) in 1822 , his admission to the Society for the Promotion of Medicine in Amsterdam (Dutch: Genootschap ter bevordering der Heelkunde ) in 1831 , his admission in 1839 to the Dutch Society of Sciences in Haarlem (Dutch: Hollandsche Maatschappij der Wetenschappen ) and his corresponding membership from 1840 in the medical and healing society in Bruges (Dutch: Geneesen Heelkundig Genootschap ).

Broers has been married twice. His first marriage was on February 14, 1822 in Utrecht with Geertruida van Pesch (born October 9, 1799 in Utrecht, † June 21, 1838 in Leiden), daughter of Adrianus van Pesch and Elisabeth van Beest. The marriage resulted in nine children. His second marriage was on August 20, 1840 in Delft with Cornelia Margaretha Maquelijn (born December 23, 1801 in Delft; † January 4, 1880 ibid), daughter of Michael Jacobus Macquelijn and his wife Petronella Johanna van Egmond.
