Description “Over eighty of Cheyne's letters to Richardson dating from the decade prior to Cheyne's death in 1743 were copied at Richardson's instruction into an extant notebook; and although only three of Richardson's draft responses survive, this correspondence is intrinsically valuable not only for what is revealed about diagnosis and treatment, but as a record of the commercial context of early Georgian medical authorship, providing an entire pre-publication history of Cheyne's last two works, An essay on regimen: Together with five discourses, medical, moral and philosophical (1740) and The natural method of cureing the diseases of the body, and the disorders of the mind depending on the body (1742)”
