Barchusen, John Conrad
De medicinae origine et progressu dissertationes. In quibus medicorum sectae, institutiones, decreta, hypotheses, praeceptiones, &c. ab initio medicinae usque ad nostra tempora traduntur. Utrecht: Gysbertum Paddenburg et Guilielmum Croon, 1723. 8vo, recently rebound in full calf, spine with contrasting lettering-pieces.
Barchusen was the first person to teach 'chemistry' as a subject separate to medicine. He sought to reposition it as part of a wider natural philosophy, and through a concern of composition of matter, rather than simply an adjunct to study of the body. This revised edition of his work presents 26 essays on the history of chemistry and medicine, including elements of Chinese medical practice and blood transfusion.
