Medicine in an Age of Revolution

---

This book marks the culmination of a project with its roots in another century. It
was originally intended as the first in a trilogy of works concerned with the
interaction between medicine, religion and politics in early modern Britain. Like
the best laid plans, it has appeared in reverse order. This is partly the result of my
engagement in a five-year Wellcome Trust funded project, based at Exeter
University, which enabled me to look again at the subject matter under consideration
and benefit from further research in archives across Britain and America.
I am indebted to the various libraries and archives that have facilitated the
research of the project team, with special mention to all our wonderful county
record offices who currently languish under the effect of cuts to the public sector.
I would also like to thank the Director and staff of the Folger Shakespeare Library
in Washington DC, who provided a congenial home in which to work on several
themes of this book during the summer of 2019.
As ever, I am indebted to the patience of my family, who have had to endure
long periods of my absence, both from home and locked away in my ‘cupboard’,
especially as I am meant to be retired. I promise to try harder in future. I would
particularly like to thank the members of the project team, especially Dr Alun
Withey, Dr Ismini Pells and Dr John Cunningham for their help and assistance
with specific aspects of the research. Likewise to Professor Patrick Wallis of the
LSE for allowing access to his database on London apothecaries. My special thanks
are reserved, however, for Jonathan Barry, who has been the perfect colleague in so
many ways. May our collaboration long continue!
