This is the final edition of the book published in Thomas' lifetime, as noted to the preface at the time of this edition he had 'nearly attained my seventy-fifth year, I cannot look forward to a much longer extension of my existence'. This work was extremely popular and even had translations into French. Thomas arranges the diseases into classes and orders at the start, with an explanation and derivation of their names.
