"[Schultens'] funeral oration remains the most important, trustworthy and accurate source for the study of Boerhaave's life." (Lindeboom p.9). "It was his [Boerhaave's] wish that his friend, the orientalist Prof. Alb. Schultens, schould commemorate him. He made a number of notes on his life, referring to facts he wished not to have forgotten (...)." (Lindeboom p.104). Rare.

= Provenance: the collection of G.A. Lindeboom w. his bookplate on upper pastedown. G. van Swieten was a medical student of H. Boerhaave. During Boerhaave's lectures, van Swieten adapted an existing shorthand system to medical language, so his lecture notes reflect Boerhaave's presentation closely. Their mutual respect led Boerhaave to show his most interesting private cases to van Swieten. At various times Boerhaave stated that van Swieten would be the most suitable person to succeed him as a professor. Due to their very close relation, van Swieten considered it his life-work as a medical writer to comment on Boerhaave's Aphorisms. "The Commentaria, which greatly contributed to the dissemination of Boerhaave's ideas beyond the circles of his pupils, was reprinted many times and was translated into four languages." (DSB XIII, p.181f). Cf. Bibl. Walleriana 9393; Wellcome V, p.219; BMN I, p.64; Lindeboom 213; Hertzberger 264.

= Provenance: engr. bookplate of Alexander Cunninghame on upper pastedown. Henley 135; Pritzel 2766; cf. Nissen, BBI 615. "The Silva was written as a protest against the destruction of trees in England which was being carried on by the glass factories and iron furnaces; it succeeded in inducing land-owners to start in on a much needed restoration program that had a lasting effect on the British economy. John Evelyn (1620-1706) was a conscientious public servant who is now best rembered for his Diary. But gardens had been a life-long interest and in his horticultural works we find the public servant and country gentleman combined, in essence the best product of the English way of life" (Hunt 296 on the ed. 1664).
