---- Deuxième édition française à laquelle l'éditeur a AJOUTE L'OUVRAGE DE WHYTT SUR LES MOUVEMENTS INVOLONTAIRES DES ANIMAUX ---- "THE FIRST IMPORTANT ENGLISH TREATISE ON NEUROLOGY AFTER WILLIS (GARRISON N° 4841 1st english edition" ---- "A Classical and Standard Work in Neurology". (MacHenry) ---- "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, Whytt discusses the significance of emotions in the pathogenesis of nervousness, hypochondria, and hysteria".
