First edition. Robinson was born in Wales but gained his MD at Reims in 1718. He was also a protegé of Richard Mead to whom the present work is dedicated. Much of the work is practical (it includes several medical recipes at the end) but the theory is based on the “Newtonian” premise: “Is not the mechanism of the body conducted by the same laws that support the motions of the greater orbs of the universe?”
Blake 384; Wellcome IV 541.
