Peninsular War. Appointed a professor of medicine at the Val de Gras, Paris, Broussais
founded the influential journal Annales de la médicine physiologique (Paris, 1822-34). Near
the end of his life he became famous for his lectures on phrenology and on the relationship

Captain Cook’s Health Measures in Portuguese,
But Without His Key Measure to Prevent Scurvy

conservar a saude á gente do mar, traduzido em linguagem, e impresso por
ordem do Conselho do Almirantado em 1797. Lisbon: Na Regia Officina
Typografica, (1797). 4°, disbound and laid in recent plain wrappers.
Woodcut royal arms of Portugal on title page. Small woodcut vignette
at foot of p. 11. A very good copy. Manuscript ink foliation in upper
outer corners of rectos of all leaves, numbered 123 to 127, presumably
from a tract volume. 11 pp. $900.00
First Edition in Portuguese, with some changes from the original. The writer urges
the adoption by the Portuguese navy of the measures pioneered by Captain James Cook
to preserve the health of his crew. This Portuguese version pays tribute to Cook by giving
eight measures for preserving a crew’s health, with emphasis on keeping clothing dry,
allowing proper rest, and cleanliness. However, the Methodo does not mention the key
dietary measure: Cook’s discovery that feeding the crew fresh fruits and vegetables
prevents scurvy. Because Cook fed his sailors appropriately, no one died from scurvy
during the three-year voyage of the Endeavour.
