It treats of various forms of wasting disease, dealing more with what would be now called pathology than with treatment. It's most valuable feature is the constant reference to cases observed and to dissections, not to authority, which gives the little treatise an honourable place among the earlier examples of the modern method in medicine.

Honourable, the Lord Zouch, being subscribed "T. B." It is apparently unknown to bibliographers, who give 1584 as the date of his first medical work. Bright will ever be held in remembrance as the inventor of modern shorthand writing. He was also the author of A Treatise on Melancholy,' which work is said to have suggested to Burton his Anatomy of Melancholy.' The above work is a general treatise on diseases, tracing their country of origin, their cures, etc. "The East and West Indies, Arabia, Barbarie, the Red Sea, are the Mines, as it were, and the fountaines of medicines, and Spaine, Portugale, and Venice, the ventes of such things, and Navigation the meanes to obtaine them."

Milbourn, 1698. £555 Browne was a well-educated man, and in all likelihood a good surgeon, as he was certainly a well-trained anatomist according to the standard of the day. H treatise on the muscles is probably the first of such books in which the names of the muscles are printed on the engraved plates. |
