Ownership signature of a Fanny Courthope on the title page. Abercrombie was a Scottish physician [1780- 1844], first Pysician to His Majesty in Scotland.

He was a popular practitioner in Edinburgh, his care & treatment of his patients earning him a popular reputation. 'To Abercrombie, the noblest task of the medical writer is the exact observation and exact report of the pathological facts and their reciprocal relation. To him all theories and systems were of lesser value in these contexts, and neither did he believe that medicine could be enriched by other scientific methods, like experiments' He also found time for phiosophical & moral thoughts and although his works contained little original ideas & thoughts, they were very popular. This third edition contains additional material, concerning sleep & sonambulism.
