First edition in Latin, translated from the English by John Wigan.

The renowned Newtonian physician Dr. John Freind (1675-1728) learned Newtonian medicine and medical practice from his Jacobite teachers while studying at Christ Church, Oxford. The Jacobites had a deep affinity to the simplicity of Newton's mathematical theory and shared many similar beliefs about human society. The Jacobites were also highly political and supported the deposed King James II and Freind published 2 works that reflected his political beliefs. His affiliation with the Jacobites led to his arrest and incarceration in the Tower of London. His close friend Dr. Richard Mead frequently visited him during his imprisonment and brought him a new edition of Daniel LeClerc's "Histoire de la Medicine". Freind was enraged with LeClerc's approach to the history of medicine and how LeClerc, an adherent of Paracelsus' approach, left huge gaps in his history by totally disregarding any progress made during the Dark Ages. In response, Freind devoted his remaining time in the Tower to writing his own history of medicine. Good .

¶ ESTC N61. Richard Mead (1673–1754), physician and collector of books and art. ODNB ‘... In 1702 Mead published his first work, [the above] ... His most original contribution was his discussion of venomous snakes, which had been instigated by his studies with Paul Hermann at Leiden. Mead dissected several vipers and accurately described the mechanism of the fang and its operation. He also confirmed Galen's observation that a puncture wound was necessary for the venom to take effect, in part by swallowing a sample of venom without ill effect ... also discussed, among other topics, noxious airs, citing the Grotta de' Cani near Naples, which Mead had visited in 1695. For therapies he recommended either a substance to neutralize the excess acidity of the poison or an external stimulant such as a cold bath which would keep the blood moving and prevent the formation of coagulated clusters of blood which he believed caused the symptoms in poisoning cases ...’
