Descripción

Twenty-first edition, 8vo (205 x 130 mm), iv, 5-89, [1]pp., hand-coloured engraved frontispiece of the herb Vervain (a couple of minor stains and slightly trimmed at fore-edge), recent quarter calf, marbled boards, red morocco title label lettered in gilt. Morley acquired a method of treating scrofula and other similar diseases, and first published it as An essay on the nature and cure of the kingís evil (1760). The principal cure, it appears, was a preparation of vervain root. The work was still in print in 1800, when a thirty-second edition was published. (Oxford DNB). All editions are rare, this edition recorded by 3 copies in ESTC. This edition not in Wellcome catalogue.
