A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Nosology, according to its derivation, simply means a discourse on diseases; but, by conventional acceptation, it is used to signify their systematic classification. From the earliest periods in the history of medicine, when diseases came to be treated of in books, irregular vestiges of this department of medical science are to be found; and hence we observe the father of our art, Hippocrates, arranging diseases in groups, founded on some real or supposed analogy between them, or treating of them collectively, as they affect particular organs or parts of the body. As a knowledge of the nature of diseases became more correct and extended, we find, in later successive writers, greater precision and method in their classification; but Nosology, as a distinct branch of medical science, takes its origin from a period comparatively modern. Plater, who wrote in the beginning of the seventeenth century, was the first to sketch the penumbra of what is now understood by a synoptical classification of diseases. In his work on the Practice of Medicine, published at Basle in 1602, this author succeeded in making a first step towards a systematic arrangement of diseases, especially those affecting the nerves of sense and motion.
