See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 2pp, 12mo, with verso paginated 135 and ending ‘FINIS.’ The items are described over forty-five lines. The text is complete and clear, but the laid paper is in a delicate condition, discoloured and with chipping to extremities. The longest title is the first, at ten lines: ‘I. The Practice of Physick, containing seventeen several Books: wherein is plainly set forth, the Nature, Cause, Differences, and several sorts of Signs; together with the Cure of all Diseases in the Body of Man. Being chiefly a Translation of the Works of that learned and renowned Doctor, Lazarus Riverius, Counsellor and Physician to the King of France. Above fifteen thousand of the said Book in Latin have been sold in a very few years, having been eight times printed, though all the former Impressions wanted the Nature, Causes, Signs and Differences of the Diseases, and had only the Medicines for the Cure of them; as plainly appears by the Authors Epistle.’
