Book Description
Freind was the first English medical historian. This book is the best English work on this period of time. He was interested in politics and planned this book while committed to the Tower of London on a charge of high treason, a charge of which he was innocent. Sir Robert Walpole, Prime Minister at the time, suffered from renal calculi and asked for Mead, a friend of Freind. Mead refused to treat Walpole until Freind was released.
