AN IMPORTANT COLLECTION, John Freind was the first English historian of medicine and his works are the best of their type to come out of England for that period. See Heirs Of Hippocrates 781 And Wellcome 111, 66, both citing a London edition in Latin published in the same year. The collection contains all Freind's major scientific and medical writings: such as, The History of Physic, Praelectiones Chymicae . Emmonologia . Hippocratis de Morbis . The Purgantibus . the Quibusdam Variolarum Generibus Epistola . Historia Medicinae, and et al. It has long been regarded as an highly authoritative work. The most important of his writings, the History of Physic, was conceived during his imprisonment in the Tower of London for being suspected of favoring the cause of the exiled Stuarts. He spent half of a year in the Tower before his friend Richard Mead forced his release by refusing to treat Prime Minister Sir Robert Walpole until Freind was exonerated.
