The history of physick; from the time of Galen to the beginning of the sixteenth century. 2 vols.London: J. Walthoe, 1725 – 1726.Freind was the first English historian of medicine, and his book is a classic study of the period with which it treats. Freind dabbled in politics and planned the above work while committed to the Tower of London on a charge of high treason, a charge of which he was innocent. Sir Robert Walpole, Prime Minister at the time, suffered much from renal calculi and called in Richard Mead, a great friend of Freind. Mead refused to treat Walpole until Freind was released, and this was speedily arranged! Subjects: History of Medicine: General Works |
