Lectures of an unknown teacher given on fevers between Feb. 7-28, 1776, taken by David Edwardes. The lectures are presented in a systematic way with an introduction defining two classes of fever, intermittent and continual. There follows detailed accounts, subdivided into sections, on the symptoms, prognosis and causes and cures for various fevers, including jail fever, remittent fever, West Indian yellow fever, small pox, measles, scarlet fever, plague, ophthamalic fever, catarrhal fever, coughs, inflamation of the breasts, gastritis, enteritis, rheumatism and gout. Many references are made to a "Dr. Gr." and a number of allusions which may point to Scotland as the source, but no firm deductions can be made.
