Walter Charleton (2 February 1619 – 24 April 1707) Was, According To Jon Parkin, "The Main Conduit For The Transmission Of Epicurean Ideas To England". He Entered Magdalen Hall, Oxford, Under The Tuition Of John Wilkins. At The Age Of 22 He Received The Degree Of M.D. And In The Same Year Was Appointed Physician To Charles I, Who Was Then At Oxford. In 1650 Charleton Settled In London, And Was On 8 April Admitted A Candidate Of The College Of Physicians. A Royalist, He Was Appointed Physician To The Exiled King Charles Ii But Remained In London Writing, In Russell Street, Covent Garden. He Was Continued In His Office Of Physician At The Restoration, And Was One Of The First Elected Fellows Of The Royal Society In 1663; On 23 January 1676 He Was Admitted A Fellow Of The Royal College Of Physicians. He Gave The First Lectures Delivered In The Cutlerian Theatre In Warwick Lane, In 1680 Delivered The Harveian Oration, And Was President In 1689 And 1691. After His Last Year Of Presidency At The College Of Physicians, Charleton Left London And A Dwindling Medical Practice. He Retired To Nantwich; But Returned To London, And Was Senior Censor In The College Of Physicians From 1698 To 1706, And Delivered Harveian Orations In 1702 And 1706, When He Was Also Appointed Harveian Librarian. He Had In Early Life Read Much In Van Helmont, And Spent Time In Reading And Composition, Rather Than With Patients. Thomas Hobbes, Lord Dorchester, And Sir Francis Prujean Were His Friends. He Was A Copious Writer Also On Theology, Natural History, And Antiquities, And Published Chorea Gigantum (1663) To Prove That Stonehenge Was Built By The Danes. The Chorea Gigantum Had A Poem By John Dryden Written In Its Praise, The Epistle To Dr. Charleton, Prefixed To The Presentation Copy Given To The King.

This Volume Contains The First Recorded Printed Use Of The Word "Intrigue" To Denote A Clandestine Illicit Intimacy Between A Man And A Woman, A Liaison. The Story Itself Has Been Frequently Told, Including In Voltaire's "Zadg" And Taylor's "Holy Dying".
