Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This biographical account follows the life and work of Dr. Robert Watt, a physician and medical bibliographer who rose to prominence as the author of Bibliotheca Britannica. Through his impressive dedication and arduous efforts that spanned nearly three decades, Watt meticulously compiled a monumental four-volume index of British and foreign literature, including works translated into English and those originating within the British dominions. The Bibliotheca Britannica, published posthumously after his untimely demise, stands as a testament to Watt's profound scholarship and unwavering commitment to expanding the boundaries of knowledge. His passion for fostering effective medical teaching practices led him to create a comprehensive catalogue of his personal medical library, organized by subject matter, as a resource for students in attendance at his lectures on the Theory and Practice of Medicine, delivered in Glasgow. A pioneer in statistical analysis, Watt conducted a groundbreaking investigation into the mortality rates of various childhood diseases, revealing the potential effects of vaccination in combating smallpox and elucidating the inverse relationship between its prevalence and that of measles. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781332318018_0
