[141177] (MEDICINE) Gideon Harvey .
London: Printed for James Partridge, 1685. Small octavo, [6] 160 pages. Second Edition. In 19th century binding, ¼ calf, brown papered boards. Binding conserved and strengthened, blank front free endpaper supplied, lacks half-title. Small stamp (“C.H. Godfrey”) to t.p. and epistle's first page. Some silverfish tracking but, thus, no word loss; several catchwords, headlines or page numbers shaved. Gideon Harvey (1636/7ñ1702), physician. DNB states: “It was as a medical author and controversialist that Harvey was most prominent over the next three decades. He was a prolific writer with a lively and witty style ... Harvey's writing took on a more confrontational tone in 1678 with the publication of [this work.] His relationship with the College of Physicians appears to have been amicable to this point, and two years earlier he had written a strongly worded defence of several of its members against the ëclandestine scurrilous Cabalí of apothecaries who were attacking them (Accomplisht Physician, 91). Now, however, he appears to have fallen out with the college over the treatment of Lord Mohun, one of Harvey's patients, who had died after the unsuccessful treatment of a dueling wound, first by several college physicians and then by Harvey. In the work he defended his treatment of Mohun and lambasted the other physicians who had attended him, barely disguising their names.” [Wing H1058.] $450

This edition adds a twenty-seven page essay on the evils of corsets and the slaves of fashion authored by “An American Physician” whose many comments include such dire warnings as: “I would condemn Corsets, either with, or without busks: they are a slow and a fashionable poison, which has laid many a lovely form, at an untimely hour, prostrate with the listless dead...” and “Should I call the practice of wearing Corsets a crime, you may be apt to start with surprise; but, nevertheless, I do consider it a crime, and a cruel and black one too; --and if your indignation begins to burn, because I call it a crime, it may possibly burst into a flame, when you find me classing the crime with that of self-murder...”. $250
