Original paste-paper over boards; simple repairs to spine with old manuscript title added spine worn some internal waterstaining to bottom edge. Shelf-mark on p. 1 lower margin. Title margin trimmed. Good. First edition. Published in two parts Primerose "deals with the care of the newborn infant and the feeding of infants" and the second part is devoted to the problem of infantile diseases and mortality especially of rickets. "Primerose was one of those who still regarded the ancient medical writers as the Law and the Prophets and his book is little more than a compilation from them mixed with more of ignorant custom and superstition than one can find in any single ancient writer unless perhaps in Artius; though Primerose it must be said does sometimes acknowledge that a custom or opinion mentioned is superstitious. He quotes from Galen the salting of the newborn baby which he says has now become obsolete. He advices amongst other methods of ablution washing the baby in its own urine; and as another alternative he mentions warm beer. The nurse's milk is still to be tested by the nail test of Soranus or by a hair or mirror or dish used in the same way as the nail to estimate the quality of the milk by its viscidity." Still p. 248. / "The son of Gilbert Primrose he was born at St. Jean d'Angely now in Charente-Inferieure France. He studied at the University of Bordeaux there graduated M.A. and then proceeded to Montpellier where he took the degree of M.D. in 1617 and attended the lectures of John Varandaeus professor of physic." / "He was incorporated M.D. at Oxford in March 1628. On 9 December 1629 at Dr. Argent's house in London he was examined for admission to the license of the College of Physicians William Harvey being one of his examiners manuscript annals. He passed and was admitted the following day. He settled in Kingston-upon-Hull and there practised his profession. He died in December 1659 at Hull where he was buried in Holy Trinity Church." Wikip.
