Covering the meteoric rise of Scottish and Welsh nationalism ; 8vo; 158 pages
Thomas Chaloner, a reluctant spy for the feared Secretary of State, John Thurloe, and now returned from Holland, is in desperate need of employment. His erstwhile boss, knowing he has many enemies at court, recommends Thomas to Lord Clarendon, but in return demands that Thomas keep him informed of any plot against him. But what Thomas discovers is that Thurloe had sent another ex-employee to White Hall and he is dead, supposedly murdered by footpads near the Thames. Chaloner volunteers to investigate his killing: instead he is despatched to the Tower to unearth the gold buried by the last Governor. He discovers not treasure, but evidence that greed and self-interest are uppermost in men's minds, whoever is in power, and that his life has no value to either side. 512 p Book

Seconda rara edizione (la prima uscì nel 1710), tre soli esemplari censiti in ICCU, di questo importante studio del celebre medico e fisico scozzese, Sir David Hamilton. Laureatosi a Reims nel 1686, fu ammesso nel 1708 al London College of Physicians. Divenuto uno dei più celebri ostetrici del suo tempo venne scelto dalla Regina Anna, che lo nominò anche cavaliere, come suo medico e fisico personale. I suoi studi medici furono molto apprezzati per l'attenzione sperimentale e per le osservazioni pratiche. Nel volume qui presentato di particolare è la seconda opera nella quale l'autore analizza le cure e le diverse cause di febbri miliari, termine anticamente usato per indicare una malattia infettiva che provocava febbre acuta e prolungata, associata a eruzioni cutanee simili alla granella del cereale miglio, da cui miliare, e che poteva portare alla morte. Anche Mozart morì per una febbre miliare. Esemplare rara ed in buone-ottime condizioni di conservazione. Bibl: ICCU IT\ICCU\RMLE\028481.
