Synopsis
Excerpt from Culpeper's English Physician: And Complete Herbal
Disease is undoubtedly the most fatal enemy of mankind. To prevent its approaches, or to overcome its attacks, is perhaps the most important concern of our lives; and an inquisition that appears only attainable by the most natural and simple means. For this purpose Mr. Nicholas Culpeper's English Physician seems peculiarly well adapted; since it resorts, for everymode of Cure, to that infallible source prepared by God and Nature, in the vegetable system; whence flow spontaneously the genuine Virtues of Medicine, diffused universally over the face of the whole earth, where nothing grows in vain!
Indeed, had this ingenious and most invaluable Work no other recommendation than having passed through so many editions, yet would it sufficiently justify my offering it once more to the notice and consideration of an enlightened public. But, when we reflect on the discoveries since made in the botanical world - the great acquisitions derived to the Work by the addition of upwards of one hundred newly-discovered aromatic and balsamic herbs - independent of the physical skill and philosophical perception displayed by its Author, we shall find innumerable instances of its utility, and perceive in it a fund of information and medical acquirements, which promise the most extensive benefits to society, by forming a Domestic Physician in every Family.
It might perhaps have been replete with the happiest consequences to our beloved King under his late infirmity, and would unquestionably have tended more quickly to dispel the painful apprehensions of his afflicted people, had this great Master of human nature been contemporary with us.
