Heberden's Commentaries, originally published in Latin in the same year as the English translation, contains all of his important medical papers. These include an expanded version of his classic paper on angina pectoris, whose careful analysis of the various clinical symptoms placed knowledge on the disease on a scientific basis; Heberden was the first to describe its most striking symptom of oppression or pain in the chest. Also included is his account of the nodules in the terminal finger-joints ('Heberden's nodes') that occur in arthritis deformans; his paper on varicella (chicken pox), in which he clearly distinguished this disease from smallpox; and his account of night-blindness ('nyctalopia').
