About This Item
Edinburgh: Archibald Constable and Company, David Brown, and john Greig, Edinburgh; Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown, and T. and G. Underwood, London, 1818. 8vo, pp. xxxii, 223, [1]; uncut and largely unopened; engraved portrait frontispiece by Burnet after Raeburn; original brown paper-covered boards, printed paper label on spine. Fine copy, including here for the first time, a new preface to this edition. Hamilton (1749-1835), a prominent and well-respected physician in late 18th- and early 19th-century Edinburgh, worked at the Trades Maiden Hospital, George Heriot's Hospital, and for over 30 years as a physician to the Royal Infirmary. After some early successes with puratives in treating typhus fever, he extended their use to a number of other diseases. His treatise on the subject, Observations on the Utility and Administration of Purgative Medicines, first published in 1805, went through eight British and three American editions. Heirs of Hippocrates 1089; Wellcome III, 203.
