An early signature on the front endpaper - S. Smith Prior Park 1784. Richard Mead 1673 - 1754 was an English physician. His work "A Short Discourse concerning Pestilential Contagion and the Method to be used to prevent it "1720 was of historic importance in the understanding of transmissible diseases. The present work on poisons "fully displayed his commitment to Pitcairne's style of iatromechanics stating that mathematical learning would soon distinguish a physician from a quack. His most original contribution was his discussion of venomous snakes which had been instigated by his studies with Paul Hermann at Leiden. Mead dissected several vipers and accurately described the mechanism of the fang and its operation. He also confirmed Galen's observation that a puncture wound was necessary for the venom to take effect in part by swallowing a sample of venom without ill effect - ODNB". The other poisons and antidotes discussed cover tarantulas and rabid dogs through to poisonous minerals and plants opium and noxious vapours. First Edition. Full Leather. Good.
