Testatine, finalini e iniziali riccamente ornati. 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.
