In 8° (22,5x14,3); (2), XI, (1), 178, (4 delle quali due conteneti su una facciata l'errata). Legatura coeva in cartoncino rigido con titolo in nero su fascetta la dorso (qualche minimo segno del tempo). Dedica autografa di Kentish al recto del frontespizio. Esemplare ancora in barbe ed in buone condizioni di conservazione. Seconda edizione, stampata lo stesso anno della prima e arricchita dalla dedica autografa dell'autore, di questa importante opera del notro fisico e medico originario di Bristol Edward Kentish. L'opera è uno studio approfondito dedicato a vari tipi di bagni di vapore e saune come il bagno di vapore russo, turco, indiano ed ai loro effetti benefici sui reumatismi, nei trattamenti oftalmici, nelle malattie polmonari e per una generale salute del corpo umano. Il successo del suo scritto fu immediato tanto che le copie finirono subito e nello stesso anno si procedette ad una seconda edizione che è prorpio quella qui presentata (rara quanto la prima se non di più). Kentish descrive anche vari casi reali da lui personalmente seguiti. Si legge nell'opera: "All exanthematic diseases are abated by bathing: consequently, then, the small-pox; and if this dreadful disorder be actually less fatal in Russia than in other countries this phenomonon needs not to be attributed to any other cause than their great use of vapour Baths. Doctor Sanchez appears to be of the same opinion, from what he has said on the small pox, and other eruptive diseases. He likewise observes that all indispositions, arising from violent exercise, producing chills, with all the attendant bad consequences; that inflamations of any part of the body, even if attended with external or internal tumours, and fever; may be successfully combatted by the Russian Baths: also in all chronic diseases, arising from excesses of eating and drinking and the gratifying of other inordinate pleasure, which debilitate and ennervate both the body and mind, the attentive physician will find considerable aid in the use of the Russian Baths .". Opera assai rara, nessun esemplare censito in ICCU. …
