First French edition of author's "A Practical inquiry on disordered respiration distinguishing convulsive asthma..." (1797), the most complete treatise on asthma that had yet appeared. Bree himself had suffered from asthma during his lifetime. "In this work, says Dr. Munk, the author "embodied the numerous experiments in his own case, gave a more full and complete view of asthma and dyspna than had hitherto appeared, and laid down some important therapeutic rules, the practical value of which has been universally acknowledged". For further reading see Hunter & Macalpine, "Three Hundred Years of Psychiatry", p. 554556.
