Première traduction française, rare, du célèbre ouvrage de Lind paru à Edinburgh en 1753, sous le titre "A treatise of the scurvy". Cette édition originale anglaise est rarissime. Waller ne possédait que la deuxième édition anglaise parue en 1757, soit une année après cette première édition française. FIRST FRENCH EDITION OF LIND'S MASTERPIECE ON SCURVY, PUBLISHED 3 YEARS AFTER THE VERY RARE ORIGINAL EDITION AND EXPANDED. L'ouvrage fut traduit plus tardivement en italien (1766) et en allemand (1775). James Lind (1716-1794), né à Edimbourg, est considéré comme l'un des fondateurs de l'hygiène navale. Il était alors chirurgien dans la Marine. Il rapporte ici sa remarquable expérimentation clinique, avec le premier essai thérapeutique scientifiquement contrôlé (six groupes de deux malades recevant des traitements différents). Il démontre l'efficacité du jus de citron et d'orange frais pour prévenir la maladie (déjà soupçonnée par quelques auteurs), et ainsi la nature carentielle du scorbut. Cette découverte fut mal exprimée, sans doute mal comprise et mêlée à d'autres considérations étiologiques (Lind faisant jouer un rôle à l'humidité et au froid). Lind préconisera ensuite la préparation d'extraits secs de jus d'agrumes (dont on sait qu'elle détruit en grande partie la vitamine C). Ces mesures d'apport d'agrumes furent finalement appliquées par la Royal Navy à la fin du XVIIIe siècle et par la France en 1856, ce qui entraîna l'extinction de cette maladie. Le volume II contient une précieuse bibliographie analytique de tous les ouvrages qui ont été publiés sur le scorbut (jusqu'en 1754) ; on y trouve à la suite, dans cette édition française, une traduction des aphorismes de Boerhaave sur le scorbut (figurant dans le troisième tome des aphorismes, paru après l'impression de l'ouvrage de Lind), avec les commentaires de Van Swieten.

Savary (fl. 1750) and Thomas Carrère (1714-1764). The translators give a concise but complete historical account of scurvy in the preface and have also translated Boerhaave's treatise on scurvy, with Van Swieten's commentary, from his Aphorisms.".
