Beschreibung

1769, first edition. Quarto. xxxix, [1] 581, [3]pp. Contemporary calf boards, re-backed in a brown morocco, red leather title label. Corners repaired. End papers retained. Occasional light toning and off-setting. Overall a Very Good copy. A controversial work, in the eyes of medical professionals and associates of the period, due to the nature of providing medical knowledge to a wider public audience. Subsequently it received mixed reviews, but nonetheless remains a comprehensive medical guide of the late Eighteenth century. Dr Smith's earliest known publication is a 'Dissertation Upon The Nerves' published a year prior to this work (1768). Based on his provision of medical services at London gaols in the 1770's and his later exile to Nova Scotia as a surgeon in the 1780's, we can assume this work was published relatively early in Smith's career.
