Black cloth boards silver lettering on gray title block on spine; bw illustrated dj mylar cover; xvi 476 pp music. "This book contains the first complete translation in English of E.T.A. Hoffmann's major musical writings complementing the well-known Tales. It offers therefore a long-awaited opportunity to assess the thought and influence of one of the most famous of all writers on music and the musical links with his fiction. Containing the first complete appearance in English of Kreisleriana it reaveals a masterpiece of imaginative writing whose title is familiar to musicians from Robert Schumann's piano cycle and whose profound humour and irony can now be fully appreciated. This volume offers translations aiming at the greatest fidelity to Hoffmann as well as musical accuracy in the reviews. David Charlton's three introductory essays provide extensive information on the background to Romantic music criticism; on the origins and internal structure of Kreiseriana; and on Hoffmann and opera. A concluding essay by the late Friedrich Schnapp lists Hoffmann's planned reviews and those mistakenly attributed to him." DJ.

There in 1907 he became first professor in ordinary for internal medicine when the Academy for Practical Medicine was founded. Up to 1927 he was head of the medical clinic. On 17 February 1929 he died in DUsseldorf. At first Hoffmann used the X-rays which were discovered in 1895 for the heart diagnostics above all for the determination of the size of the heart. A general notoriety he obtained by publication of the monography about the paroxysmal tachycardia type Bouveret-Hoffmann in 1900. After the preliminary works of Einthoven he belonged to the first German clinicians who dealt with electrocardiography above all problems of arrhythmia.

"Friedrich Hoffmann also 'Hofmann' was born on 19 February 1660 in Halle where he also died on 12 November 1742. Called 'the second Hippocrates' and the 'Aesculapius Hallensis' he was among the most widely read medical authors of the eighteenth century and is best known for his systematic discussion of the iatromechanical model of medicine — similar to what Hermann Boerhaave 1668-1738 was developing at Leiden — that views the human body as a hydraulic machine wholly governed by mechanical laws. "Hoffmann's father Friedrich Hoffmann the Elder was the respected municipal physician of Halle. The younger Hoffmann enrolled at nearby Jena in 1678 the university at Halle would not open for another fifteen years where he studied medicine for two years under the iatrochemist Georg Wolfgang Wedel 1645-1721 also attending Caspar Cramer's lectures on chemistry in Erfurt in 1680. He received his doctorate in medicine from Jena in 1681 January 31 with a dissertation on suicide de autochiria and began lecturing on chemistry a standard course taught in the medical faculty but soon left perhaps pushed out by senior faculty jealous of his teaching success. After practicing medicine in Minden for two years Hoffmann made an academic tour of Belgium Holland and England during which he met Boerhaave Thomas Sydenham and Robert Boyle returned to Minden in 1684 and assumed various medical offices eventually being appointed the regional physician for Halberstadt. He married an apothecary's daughter Anna Dorothea Herstell on 10 December 1689. "In 1693 he was called to the newly-founded university at Halle as an ally of the Priest August Hermann Francke 1663-1727 with the charge of organizing its medical school and to serve as its first professor of medicine. He also became the godfather to Christian Wolff's first-born son Friedrich. Hoffmann recruited his old college friend from Jena Georg Ernst Stahl 1660-1734 for the second chair of medicine and the two taught side by side for twenty years transforming Halle into the preeminent medical school among German-speaking universities. Along with Boerhaave at Leiden Hoffmann and Stahl were the principal forces behind the medical reforms of the early eighteenth century. "Hoffmann was a member of the German Academy of Natural Scientists Leopoldina 1696 the Berlin Academy of Sciences he was included in Leibniz's founding lists and was inducted on 1 April 1701 the Royal Society of London 1720 and the Russian Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg 1735. "In all Hoffmann authored about 400 publications mostly brief dissertations and essays but also the six-volume systematics discussed above a twelve-volume collection of case studies Medicina consultatoria 1721-39 and a nine-volume work on how to live a long and healthy life Basic Guide 1715-28 wherein Hoffmann emphasized the restorative effects of proper diet exercise clean air and sleep. He also criticized the diversity and overuse of drugs and was successful in reducing the pharmacopoeia of his day to a few basic remedies. -- The Dictionary of Eighteenth Century German Philosophers 3 vols. edited by Manfred Kuehn and Heiner Klemme.

Hoffmann who served as the physician to the Prussian King Friedrich I was a friend of Boerhaave and a proponent of the neo-Hippocratic school. He argues that since humans were nourished by a milky substance in the womb and raised on breast milk and since all food upon entering the body was transformed into a milky substance called chyle milk was 'manifestly proved to be the principal of all the kinds of aliment; so it may be deservedly reckoned the chief of all remedies.' Although Hoffmann preferred ass's milk for its resemblance to human breast milk he also recommended the milk of cows sheep and goats for the relief of fevers chronic coughs colic and nervous disorders -- the same aliments that afflicted Pompadour. Why was milk so effective" Hoffman argued that is possessed powerful cleansing properties functioning as a nonviolent purgative that penetrated the body's channels allowing fresh air to enter and perspiration to exit. It also removed obstructions in the chest lungs and bowels and returned the body to its proper system of 'flows.' Hoffmann told readers of how a certain 'gentlewoman' in his care who had been sick for years with fevers aches and pains began a course of milk treatment and 'in three days only everything appeared wonderfully amended.'" -- Meredith Martin Dairy Queens: The Politics of Pastoral Architecture from Catherine de' Medici to Marie-Antoinette Harvard Historical Studies Harvard University Pres 2011 pp. 135-6.
