8vo. pp. 174, [2]. contemporary mottled calf, rebacked (corners worn, several small library rubberstamps). Second London Edition of Berkeley’s most popular work, an exposition of the medicinal virtues of tar-water and instructions for its use. Berkeley regarded it as a cure for virtually every ailment, including fevers, cancers, apoplexies, small-pox and scurvy, and he even set up an apparatus for manufacturing it himself. It was equally beneficial, he maintained, for cattle, and was strongly recommended to improve and sharpen the general health and intellect of infants and young children. Blake 43. Jessop 21e. Keynes 67. Kress 4685. Bib. Osleriana 1071. Wellcome II 149.
