Description
Germ Theory.- N[eedham] (M[archmont]) Medela Medicinae, first edition, initial licence leaf, contemporary sheep, rubbed, [Wing N397; Garrison-Morton 2529], 8vo, for Richard Lownds, 1665.
⁂ The author (1620-78, alternative spelling Marchamont Nedham) was a journalist and pamphleteer during the English Civil War. This work is an attack on the outmoded methods of the College of Physicians and includes an early account, perhaps the first by an English writer, of the germ theory, based on Athanasius Kircher's experiment (see chapter V).
