Taxação no verso da folha de rosto. última página não numerada com erratas. A partir da página 209, começa um ensaio biográfico sobre Frederico por Zimmermann. Curioso diálogo sobre a saúde, mas também sobre a arte de governar. A gravura inicial, finamente aberta em chapa representa o famoso medico a tratar o Rei. O médico de Frederico, Johann Georg Ritter von Zimmermann, afirmou que o rei teria deixado correr os rumores quanto à sua homossexualidade de forma a evitar que fosse publicamente conhecido que os seus órgãos genitais haviam sido seriamente afectados por uma "cruel operação cirúrgica" que lhe havia salvado a vida de uma doença venérea. Johann Georg Ritter von Zimmermann / Johann Georg Zimmermann (8 de dezembro de 1728, em Brugg, Aargau - 7 de outubro de 1795, em Hanôver) foi um escritor filosófico, naturalista e médico suíço. Foi o médico particular de Jorge III e, mais tarde, de Frederico, o Grande. No carácter de Zimmermann havia uma estranha combinação de sentimentalismo, melancolia e entusiasmo, e foi através da expressão livre e excêntrica destas qualidades que ele despertou o interesse dos seus contemporâneos pelos seus livros. Assistiu Frederico, o Grande, durante a última doença do monarca e, posteriormente, publicou vários livros sobre ele. De acordo com a Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition, "estes escritos revelam uma extraordinária vaidade pessoal e transmitem uma impressão totalmente falsa do carácter de Frederico".

Handwritten ownership title on title page. Small moth holes at the head of the last few leaves, next to the inner hinge and without affecting the text area, from page 315 onwards. Tax on the verso of the title page. Last unnumbered page with errata. Beguining on page 209, there is a biographical essay on Frederico by Zimmermann. Curious dialogue on health, but also on the art of rulling. The initial engraving, finely etched in metal plate, depicts the famous doctor treating the King. Frederick's doctor, Johann Georg Ritter von Zimmermann, claimed that the king had let rumours of his homosexuality run so as to avoid being publicly known that his genitals had been seriously affected by a "cruel surgical operation" that had saved his life from a venereal disease. Johann Georg Ritter von Zimmermann / Johann Georg Zimmermann (8 December 1728 in Brugg, Aargau - 7 October 1795 in Hanover) was a Swiss philosophical writer, naturalist and physician. He was the private physician to George III and later to Frederick the Great. In Zimmermann's character there was a strange combination of sentimentality, melancholy and enthusiasm, and it was through the free and eccentric expression of these qualities that he aroused the interest of his contemporaries in his books. He assisted Frederick the Great during the monarch's last illness and later published several books about him.
