He was second only to Sydenham in his day. To him we owe the original descriptions of several conditions. He also published the most complete and accurate account of the nervous system which had hitherto appeared, and the work that coined the term, neurology. Wepfer and others preceded Willis in giving a detailed and complete description of the circle of Willis. (G-M 1378). Cole (History of Comparative Anatomy) praises Willis observations and conclusions in comparative anatomy, but is careful to note that the dissections were probably not Willis own. Heirs 343: Willis, a graduate of Oxford, practiced medicine and taught there until 1666, when he went to London, where he attained a large practice and was known as outstanding physician. In addition to his practice, he carried on extensive research and published a number of important works on medicine, anatomy, and pharmacology. Willis was among the eminent anatomists who were included in the distinguished group of experimental scientists, who met in Oxford as the Invisible College and later founded the Royal Society. Willis preceded and was contemporary to, Robert Boyle and Richard Lower" (Sinclair and Robb-Smith).

Amstelodami, Apud Joannem à Someren, 1674, 12°, (48), 552, (20) pp., 8 fold. plates, parchment binding of the time; fine copy. De Anima Brutorum Quae Hominis Vitalis ac Sensitiva est, Exercitationes Duæ : Prior Physiologica Ejusdem Naturam, partes, Potentias & Affectiones tradit; Altera Pathologica Morbos qui ipsam, & sedem ejus Primariam, Nempe Cerebrum & Nervosum Genus afficiunt, explicat, eorumque Therapeias instituit ; cum Figuris Æneis / Studio Thomæ Willis . A fine copy of the first continental issue, of a foundational work of neurology. In this treatise, Thomas Willis (1621-1675), who coined the term neurology, "recapitulated the neurological concepts he had introduced in Cerebri anatome, particularly localization, and extended them to invertebrates with some of the first detailed dissections made of the oyster, earthworm, and lobster. He attributed a wide range of diseases to neurological disturbances, among them headache, lethargy, melancholy, apoplexy, frenzy, and paralysis, but recognized the difference between the symptoms of organic brain disease and those of mental illness" (Norman). "Chap. XIV is devoted to the sense of hearing; in it Willis described the "paracusis of Willis" ; a probable description of myasthenia gravis is given in Pars. 2, Cap. IX.; in Pars 2, Cap. III is an account of lethargy, and Cap. XIII gives an account of "stupidity or foolishness". Part 2, Cap. 1, deals with headache. Garrison & Morton No. 1544, 4513, 4730, 4793, 4919, 4966 (all 1st ED. 1672) Prebound - Willis,T. Pharmaceutice rationalis sive diatriba de medicamentorum operationibus in humano corpore. Den Haag, Leers 1674, 8°, (38), 330, (10) pp., Frontispiece, 6 fold plates. The Hague edition of a Latin pharmacological work, with 6 anatomical folding plates and an engraved frontispiece by Romeyn de Hooghe, the text and illustrations based on the first edition of the same year, published by the University printing office at Oxford, but the frontispiece is wholly new. "Willis's last work deals with the anatomy and physiology of the thoracic and abdominal organs, and contains the first description of the superficial lymphatics of the lungs, the first clinical and pathological account of emphysema, and a clear and accurate description of pertussis (whooping-cough). The book also contains the first distinction between diabetes mellitus, characterized by glycosuria, from diabetes insipidus, in which sugar is not present in the urine. Willis noted that psychogenic factors, such as grief or sadness, could bring on diabetes. The second volume, published posthumously, includes a life of the author."

Il fut l'un des pionniers de la recherche neuroanatomique et le précurseur de la neuropathologie. Il fondait ses thèses sur l'observation plutôt que l'autorité des Anciens, donnant subtilement la préférence à l'école chimique sur la galénique (le débat traversait alors toute l'Europe médicale).

London, Tho. Ratcliff for Tho. Underhill, 1659. 8vo. In contempoteray full calf. Small paper-label pasted on to top of spine. Light wear to extremities, a few scratches to boards and corners bumped. Inner hinges split. Internally nice and clean. (18), 430, (20) pp. Rare first edition of Willis? enlarged sermon first preached in Westminiter Abbey. The sermon addresses the social, political, and moral concerns of the timevemphasizes the importance of recognizing the signs of perilous times and offers guidance on how to navigate through them as good Christians. ?Thomas Willis (d. 1692), was educated first in his father's school and afterwards at St. John's College, Oxford, where he was created M.A. on 17 Dec. 1646, by virtue of the letters of Sir Thomas Fairfax. He was possibly the ?Mr. Thomas Willis, minister, who was chaplain to the regiment of Col. Payne, part of the brigade under the command of Major-general Brown.? In 1646 he was appointed minister of Twickenham in Middlesex, and was instituted on 8 Oct. In 1651 he had his stipend increased by 100l. a year from tithes belonging to the dean and canons of Windsor. He was one of the commissioners for the county of Middlesex and city of Westminster for the ejection of ignorant and scandalous ministers. In August 1660 the inhabitants of Twickenham petitioned parliament for his removal. In the petition he is described as not having been of either university, but ?bred in New England,? and not ?a lawfully ordained minister.? In 1661 he was deprived of the living, but afterwards conforming he was instituted to the rectory of Dunton in Buckinghamshire on 4 Feb. 1663, holding it in conjunction with the vicarage of Kingston-on-Thames, to which he was instituted on 21 Aug. 1671. At this time he was chaplain-in-ordinary to the king, and had been created D.D. in 1670. He died on 8 Oct. 1692, and was buried at Kingston, Surrey.? (DNB).

Printer's device on title pages; engraved initials, headpieces and tail-pieces. In contemporary full calf, rather worn, with gilt-tooled decorations on spine quite faded. Leather title label reads "Opera WIllis Medic. Tom. II," indicating that the works were bound as part of a set (The Geneva editions of 1676 and 1677 were issued as separate titles that could be bound together to form a set). Small finger-chip at head of spine. Scattered foxing, noticeable in places. Bookplate of Dr. Alfred Jerome Brown (1878-1960) designed and engraved by Edwin Davis French. References: Garrison-Morton, 62; Kivatsky, 12998. First published in 1672, De anima brutorum is an extensive physiological and psychological investigation into the nervous system and the brain. The subtitle continues: "prior physiologica ejusdem naturam, partes, potentias & affectiones tradit ; altera pathologica morbos qui ipsam, & sedem ejus primariam, nempe cerebrum & nervosum genus afficiunt, explicat, eorumque therapeias instituit, cum figuris aneis." It includes the first medical description of general paralysis, a chapter on depression, on mania, on stupidity, and perhaps the first research into the role of sleep in the human nervous system. The second work, in two parts, bears the subtitle, "diatriba de medicamentorum operationibus in humano corpore." There are chapters on opiates, on arrythmias, and many other conditions, including diabetes (Willis is responsible for naming diabetes "mellitus," due to the sweet flavor of diabetic urine).

[40], 330, [9], [5 blank] pp.The Hague edition of a Latin pharmacological work, with 6 anatomical folding plates and an engraved frontispiece by Romeyn de Hooghe, the text and illustrations based on the first edition of the same year, published by the University printing office at Oxford, but the frontispiece is wholly new. A second volume followed in 1675 and a translation into English by Pordage in the same year.The Pharmaceutice rationalis or, an exercitation of the operation of medicines in humane bodies, as the title of the English edition reads, is one of the great books of 17th-century English medicine, it is the first scientific work on pharmacology as well as a valuable epitome of the materia medica of the time. Willis describes, for example, the sweetish flavour of urine in diabetes mellitus, differentiating between it and diabetes insipidus. He gives a clear account of whooping cough and the first satisfactory figures on the structure of the lungs. Leers s present edition of volume one is the only edition produced outside the Oxford University printing office in 1674.Thomas Willis (1621-1675), leader of the English iatrochemists, who attempted to explain the workings of the body from current knowledge of chemical interactions, was an English doctor who played an important part in the history of anatomy, neurology and psychiatry. He was a founding member of the Royal Society. In 1656 and 1659 he published two significant medical works, De fermentatione and De febribus.With an early owner s inscription by Jacobus Boëthius in the foot margin of the frontispiece, presumably the author of the medical dissertation and thesis at Upsala 1718 and Harderwijk 1724, from Westmanland in Sweden, rather than vicar of Mora in Sweden (1647-1718), some early notes on the back paste-down and an 1856 memorial inscription on the front paste-down.

Heberden the son of the 'father of rheumatology' William Heberden the elder (1710-1801) had been appointed Physician-Extraordinary to the queen in 1795, and by 1809 was Physician-in-Ordinary to both queen and king. His entry in the Oxford DNB describes how, when 'the symptoms of the king's mental instability recurred early in 1804 the royal physicians were ordered by the queen's council to leave the daily management to a specialist mad-doctor with experience in treating mental disorders [ ] The regime was repressive and coercive, but despite this harsh treatment the king's recovery in 1804 was complete by the end of the year. For the next five years Heberden pursued his London practice, but in 1810 the king's illness reappeared and the repressive regime was renewed a form of treatment that Heberden considered to be futile and inhumane. [ ] Heberden's protests were brushed aside and he and the other physicians found themselves virtually excluded from the sickroom. He was able to see his patient from time to time, but always in the presence of the Willises or one of their associates.' The reference in the present letter to 'Dr Robt Willis, Dr Monro, & Dr Simmons', is to the three 'mad-doctors' Robert Darling Willis (1760-1821); Thomas Monro (1759-1833) of Bethlem Hospital; and Samuel Foart Simmons (1750-1813). The 'Dr Halloran' of the letter is William Saunders Hallaran [sic] (c.1765-1825) of Cork, specialist in the treatment of insanity, for whom see B. D. Kelly, 'Dr William Saunders Hallaran and psychiatric practice in nineteenth-century Ireland' (Irish Journal of Medical Science, April 2008). Hallaran's 'proposal' may have been published in his influential work 'Enquiry into the Causes producing the Extraordinary Addition to the Number of Insane, together with Observations on the Cure of Insanity' (1810). For more information see Andrews and Scull, 'Undertaker of the Mind: John Monro and Mad-Doctoring in Eighteenth-Century England' (2001). The letter is 2pp, 12mo. Bifolium on watermarked laid paper. In good condition, lightly aged. Eighteen lines of text, neatly written, with light tick through the lower lines of the first page. The recipient is not named. The letter reads: 'My dear Sir, | My own experience in cases of deranged intellect has been so limited, that it is not surprizing if I am unacquainted with the virtues of the remedy proposed. So far I may say; that in the present instance it has not been tried, and moreover that its general tendency is of a kind not altogether unsuitable. On the other hand I should administer arsenic to a King with some hesitation. When I return to Windsor on Friday I will lay Dr Halloran's proposal before Dr Robt Willis, Dr Monro, & Dr Simmons, to whose judgment I should naturally defer in such a matter. | I am, My Dr Sr | Yours very truly | W. Heberden'. From the distinguished autograph collection of the psychiatrist Richard Alfred Hunter (1923-1981), whose collection of 7000 works relating to psychiatry is now in Cambridge University Library. Hunter and his mother Ida Macalpine had a particular interest in the illness of King George III, and their book 'George III and the Mad Business' (1969) suggested the diagnosis of porphyria popularised by Alan Bennett in his play 'The Madness of George III'.
