Volumes I-III; third, third and fourth edition respectively. Three volumes of a five volume set. Herman Boerhaave (31 December 1668 – 23 September 1738) was a Dutch botanist, humanist and physician of European fame. He is regarded as the founder of clinical teaching and of the modern academic hospital. His main achievement was to demonstrate the relation of symptoms to lesions.

Gerard van Swieten (May 7, 1700 – June 18, 1772) was a Dutch-Austrian physician born in Leiden. He was a pupil of Boerhaave and became the personal physician of the Austrian Empress Maria Theresa in 1745.
