Fourth edition, 8vo, (xxii), 484 pp. Mild damp staining to the front and rear blanks only, upper hinge slightly cracked but sound. Contemporary panelled calf, spine with recent subtle repairs to joints and ends, red label, a very good copy. ".one of the most original physicians of the great scientific period in which he lived. His works show independence of thought and the spirit of research; while some have been important as being the starting-points of new methods in medical practice. Floyer did good service also by his advocacy of cold bathing. He showed that the Roman customs of bathing had been prevalent in Britain in former times, and attributed to their disuse the occurrence of many diseases" (DNB). First published 1702 as "The Ancient Psychrolousia Revived", itself preceded by "An Enquiry into the Right Use and Abuses of the Hot, Cold, and Temperate Baths in England" (1697).…

Small 8vo, pp [8], xxiv, 336, bound in contemporary calf, spine with raised bands and red label, spine ends chipped, joints cracked with the upper joint internally reinforced, the spine cracked in several places and fragile, text lightly browned with edge browning to first and last leaves, still a good cop, FIRST EDITION; with this work the prominent Litchfield physician Sir John Floyer left his accustomed studies in medicine to publish works on Biblical prophecy and creation theory. This pioneering attempt to render the complexities of the oracles in English followed Floyer's borrowing of the original published Greek texts from the Bishop of Litchfield to whom his work is dedicated. The resulting work undoubtedly reflects Floyer's much wider scientific interest, somehting more than simply a Christian theological puzzle. They had, of course, received attention earlier in the 17th Century, notably from Twysden and Vossius, but Floyer was the first to present the Sibylles - or at least all thus far known - in English translation with dteailed commentary. 'What is striking in Floyer's approach is that he not only interprets the Oracles in their original setting, but systematically transposes them to the context of later periods in the Christian history, particularly from the time of the Islamic conquests, the crusades, the struggles between the Guelfs and the Ghibbelines in medieval Italy to the Reformation.' SIR JAMES STONEHOUSE'S COPY, with his signature at the head of the title page. A fellow physician, James Stonehouse [1716-95] would have taken an interest in Floyer's writings; later as an eminent cleric the work would have continued to interest him. An important work, rare in commerce, the binding in fragile but original state.…

Mr. Colson's Letter to Sir John Floyer, [London], 1726, occupying pp. [221]-232. Floyer (1649-1734) "was one of the most eccentric physicians of his time, and his works show great independence of thought as well as a true spirit of research" (Heirs of Hippocrates). He was the first physician to make regular observations on the rate of the pulse, was a powerful advocate of cold bathing, and was a pioneer in the field of geriatrics. He also gave the first description of emphysema.…
