	BEDDOES (THOMAS): Hygeia: Or Essays Moral and Medical on the Cause affecting the Personal State of our Middling and Affluent Classes. Bristol: Printed by J. Mills... For R. Phillips..., 1802, 1803. FIRST EDITION. 3 volumes, 220 x 134 mms., pp. [iv], 92, [2], 94, 84, 98; [iv], 94, 95 [96 advert], 102, [2], 168, 8]; [iv], 208, 86, [2], 96, with each essay separately paginated, contemporary polished half calf, gilt rules across spines, with red morocco titling labels, small circular black numbering labels, marbled boards (very slightly rubbed); upper front joint of volume 1 very slightly cracked, but generally a fine and attractive set. The reputation of Beddoes (1760 - 1808), particularly in the field of medical ethics, benefits from present-day sympathies for the medical problems and pathologies he describers. His topics in these volumes including such matters as the mans of avoiding habitual illness and premature death, personal imprudence, exercise, temperance, scrofula, consumption, nervous disorders, melancholia, etc. However, he also worried about the "evils of consumer goods imported from the emerging empire, such as tea and coffee. To Beddoes, novels were worse still, for by the time he was writing, 'nerve medicine' was all the rage and doctors were taking an interest in the mind" (Madeline Minson, THE (January 2004). DNB notes that Humprhy Davy said of him when he died, that, "at the moment," says Davy, "when his mind was purified for noble affections and great works...," while Robert Southey observed that he had "hoped for more good to the human race [from Beddoes] than any other individual...." Beddoes obtained his M. D. from Oxford, where he had a dispute with Bodley's librarian, John Price, about foreign books and journals. More recently, George C. Grinnell in an article published in 2006 has noted, "The three volumes of Thomas Beddoes' Hygeia: or Essays Moral and Medical, on the Causes Affecting the Personal State of our Middling and Affluent Classes (1802-3) constitute a text that deserves to be read on its own merits for the rich examination it offers of the contours of a deployment of health in Georgian Britain. Hygeia offers a capacious understanding of the 'physical or ideal pleasure and pain' affecting the minds and bodies of the middle classes in Britain, and assigns particular priority to nervous disorders among an increasingly hypochondriacal society" (Studies in Romanticism). Roy Porter, "Plutus or Hygeia? Thomas Beddoes and the Crisis of Medical Ethics in Britain at the Turn of the Nineteenth Century," in The Codification of Medical Morality (1993),, pp. 73 - 91.

	CHEYNE (GEORGE): An Essay on Regimen. Together with Five Discourses, Medical, Moral, and Philosophical: Serving to illustrate the Principles and Theory of Philosophical Medicin [sic], And Point out Some of its Moral Consequences. The Second Edition. London: Printed for Geo. Strahan...and John and Paul Knapton..., 1742. 8vo, pp. [iv], xvi, iv, [xii], lxviii, 344, contemporary calf; gathering c (with Divisional titles) mis-folded, upper front joint very slightly cracked, but a very good copy. This is the book that Cheyne, writing to Samuel Richardson, regarded as the best that he had written; but it sold so poorly that he was obliged to indemnify the publishers (who, for the first edition of 1740, were C. Rivington and J. Leake, rather that Geo. Strahan, his usual publisher) against their losses. In Discourse II, Cheyne develops philosophically his own subjective preference for a vegetable diet, "Philosophical Conjectures about the Preference of Vegetable to Animal Food: And of the End and Design of Providence, in Appointing the First, and, on trial, Permitting the Latter." ESTC has two listings for the first edition in 1740 printing, with over 30 for each listing. An edition published in 1740 is also styled "The Second Edition" (ESTCT203382, locating copies at L, Ds:KU-M, N, PPL). The 1742 "Second Edition" (ESTCN2228) is located in only two libraries: MBCo and CaOTU. For the 1740 second edition, ESTC gives the following pagination: [4], xvi, iv, [2], lxviii, [2] 51, [3], 53-89, [3] ,91-117, [3], 119-191, [3], 193-344p. The pagination for the 1742 second edition is the same as the present copy . The pagination of the 1740 second edition is the same as the 1740 first edition, so the 1740 second edition would appear to be the sheets of the first edition with a cancel title-page, while the 1742 second edition is the "true" second edition. A third edition, printed for Dan Browne, R. Manby et al, appeared in 1753, with the word "medicin" in the title-page acquiring its final "e" on this occasion . To judge from the paginations given in ESTC for the first and third editions, the printing process was complicated, while that of the second edition was relatively straightforward, but the 1742 second edition is a rare book, but the extent of textual changes, if any, is unknown.

FIRST AND ONLY EDITION. 8vo, pp. [xvi], 39 [391 - 392 adverts], contemporary panelled calf, joints and head and foot of spine neatly restored, an excellent copy. Pechey (1654 - 1718) was awarded a licentiate from the Royal College of Physicians on 22 December 1684. In 1687, he and four other licentiates had the ingenious idea of "distributing handbills and by printing the jointly authored Oracle for the Sick (1687), which contained a series of medical questions with answers: the patient could circle or fill in the appropriate answers, send in the pamphlet, and get a diagnosis and medicines in the return post" (Oxford DNB). He also published treatises on the diseases of maids and of infants and wrote a tract on midwifery. The work by which he was best known was a vigorous and idiomatic translation of the works of Sydenham to which he added his own biographical preface. Wing records a number of single sheet adverts that he put out from Basing Lane advertising his pills and medicines. Wing P 1027.
