Brandão, the translator, was a licensed surgeon in Porto. He explains that his professor at the medical school in Porto had used a French text on the circulation of the blood because no works on the subject were available in Portuguese. Brandão therefore translated this work, whose title he gives (in Portuguese translation) as Elementos de Physiologia, compostos para beneficio dos que começão a estudar medicina por Mr. *** D.M.

BRANDÃO, Joaquim Ignacio Seixas. Memorias dos annos de 1775 a 1780 para servirem de historia e analysi [sic] e virtudes das agoas thermaes da villa das Caldas da Rainha …. Lisbon: Regia Officina Typographica, 1781. 8°, contemporary mottled sheep (recased, later endleaves; some wear to corners, a bit more to foot of spine, head of spine slightly damaged), spine gilt with raised bands in five compartments, crimson morocco lettering piece, gilt letter, edges sprinkled red.

Overall a clean, crisp, very good copy. xxx pp., (1 l.), xiv, 281 pp. $750.00 FIRST and ONLY EDITION of Seixas Brandão’s only published medical work. It is an important source of information on the celebrated thermal springs at Caldas da Rainha, north of Lisbon, and the royal hospital founded there in 1485. Seixas Brandão, who in 1775 was appointed chief doctor at the hospital, provides 18 detailed case histories of patients whose paralysis, rheumatism, sciatica, apoplexy, gout, fevers, and other assorted ailments were alleviated by the mineral waters. Supplementing the work are a history and description of the hospital, a summary of recent medical and chemical writings on the medicinal effects of mineral waters, a description and chemical analysis of the waters flowing from various springs, and (pp. 258-63) a list of the medicinal plants to be found near Caldas da Rainha. The Memorias is considered the most significant of several books published about the thermal springs at Caldas da Rainha during the late eighteenth century. Seixas Brandão did his doctoral research on the brain and neural system at Montpellier after earlier studies at the University of Coimbra. According to Borba de Moraes he was born in Rio de Janeiro; Innocencio and Blake said he was a native of Minas Gerais; others believed he was born at Vila Rica in that province. He was said to be related to Maria Dorotéia Joaquina de Seixas, the fiancé of the unfortunate Tomas António Gonzaga, in
