About This Item
London: Printed for T. Becket and P. A. De Hondt..., 1768. 8vo, pp. xxxii [xxxiii - xxxvi Contents], 620, contemporary calf; pp. 594 - 600 damp-stained, joints cracked, top and base of spine chipped, corners worn, lacks label. With the contemporary inscription "Ednd. Burford Junr.// ex done Patris/ Anno Domini Jany. 1769" on the recto of the front free end-paper. The first English translation of Tissot's work was published in 1765, and its immediate popularity documented an increasing awareness by a growing middle-class population of health matters. Tissot (1728 - 1797), a Swiss general practitioner, published his work in 1761. Two years earlier, he had published L'Onanisme, about the dangers of masturbation.
