Excerpt from Disquisitions in the History of Medicine; Part First: Exhibiting a View of Physic, as Observed to Flourish, During Remote Periods, in Europe, and the East

The following Essays owe their existence partly to some singular traits the Author thought he had discovered in the Medicine of the early Greeks, and which he found attaching themselves, no less strongly, to the art as practiced among other rude, or semiprecious, tribes; partly, to the new light thrown on the primitive physic of mankind, by the extraordinary advances, attained, of late years, in Sanskrit Literature.
