A new system of the spleen, vapours, and hypochondriack melancholy: wherein all the decays of the nerves, and lownesses of the spirits, are mechanically accounted for. To which is subjoin'd, A discourse upon the nature, cause, and cure, of melancholy, madness, and lunacy. With a particular dissertation on the origine of the passions; the structure, mechanism, and modulation of the nerves, necessary to produce sensation in animal bodies. To which is prefix'd, A philosophical essay concerning the principles of thought, sensation, and reflection; and the manner how those noble endowments are disconcerted under the foregoing diseases. By Nicholas Robinson, M.D. and of the College of Physicians, London.
