Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. First Collected Edition. Full contemporary calf, rubbed and worn at the extremities, recently rebacked with spine and endpapers renewed. Firm and square, strong hinges. Contents tight, fresh and clean. No pen-marks, just a small hardly noticeable stamp mark at the title-page and a small rusthole…in one leaf (5B2) slightly affecting a couple of characters. Also, prelims are moderately dusty and spotted and have a few silked repairs to the blank margins. Size: Folio; collation: pp. [viii], viii, 6, xxx, [vi], 224, [iii], 238-591, [i], 25, xi, [ii], complete with portrait plate (which is bound in as a prelim instead of following page 224). Thus a very good copy. The first collected edition, published posthumously, of John Freind's medical writings, with any written in English (including his most famous work, History of Physick) translated into Latin by his friends and executors. Freind (1675-1728) was one of the promising undergraduates that the dean of Christ Church, Henry Aldrich, engaged in producing classical editions (he edited Demosthenes and Ovid), but he soon turned to medicine and his lasting legacy is as the author of the History of Physick, 'a standard reference for many years' (ODNB). ESTC T95591.
