Robert Whyttâs landmark neurological study on hydrocephalus, then known as âdropsy in the brain,â representing one of the earliest systematic clinical investigations of the condition. Whytt, physician to the King and Professor of Medicine at the University of Edinburgh, provides detailed clinical observations based on numerous case studies, particularly in pediatric patients. He carefully describes symptoms, disease progression, pathological findings, and diagnostic distinctions, helping to establish hydrocephalus as a clearly defined medical condition rather than a vaguely understood neurological disorder. His work marks a critical advancement in the scientific understanding of brain disease during the eighteenth century and contributed significantly to the development of neurology as a medical specialty. The volume also includes additional medical observations and previously unpublished material, expanding Whyttâs investigations into nervous system disorders and physiological function. This work became one of the foundational texts in neurological and pediatric medicine and was widely consulted by physicians throughout Europe. This copy bears institutional provenance from the Library of the Faculty of Medicine at McGill University and the ownership label of physician Arthur Edward Lyons, reflecting its long-standing presence within scholarly medical collections.

Brief and lucid, the monograph is based on about a dozen cases in which everything of clinical value that could be detected without modern laboratory apparatus is recorded.

This contained observations on the use and effects of the Digitalis Purpurea dropsies in a special appendix. It also had a personal dedication to William Cullen MD dated 1790.
