Whytt, Robert Beobachtungen ueber die Natur, Ursachen und Heilung der Krankheiten, die man gemeiniglich nerven-hypochondrische und hysterische Zufaelle nennet. Mit einigen vorausgesetzen Anmerkungen ueber die Sympathie der Nerven. Aus dem Englischen nach der zweyten verbesserten Ausgabe uebersetzt. Leipzig, Fritsch, 1766. XIV, 394 S., 4 Bll. HLdr. d. Zt. (staerker (v.a. am Ruecken) beschabt u. bestoßen). Erste deutsche Ausgabe. - HoH 923 (OAusg. Edinburgh 1765): "Whytt, a pupil of Monro primus and predecessor of William Cullen in the chair of medicine at Edinburgh, was one of the foremost physicians of the eighteenth century because of his contributions to clinical medicine and particularly to the understanding of reflex action. His clear description of tuberculous meningitis, his explanation of the sentient (sensitivity) principle in involuntary action, and his discussion of the significance of emotions in the natural history of organic diseases easily offset his mistaken emphasis on the value of lime water in the treatment of calculi in the urinary tract. In this work, which Fielding H. Garrison calls 'the first important English treatise on neurology after Willis' (An introduction to the history of medicine. 4th ed. Philadelphia, 1929, p. 326), Whytt discusses the significance of emotions in the pathogenesis of nervousness, hypochondria, and hyteria". - Titel mit Namenszug, sonst insgesamt gutes Exemplar.
