Description:
Edinburgh: John Bell and J. Murray, 1778. First edition. 4to. [iii]-xx, 433, [1], [1, errata], [1] pp., lacking half-title. Contemporary half calf and marbled boards; worn, joints cracked, front hinge reinforced, rear cover holding by cords, occasional light foxing, horizontal tear across pp. xix-xx First edition of what is "regarded as [Stuart's] most important historical work ...

In part Stuart wrote the View of Society in opposition to the introductory volume of William Robertson's popular History of Charles V.

In addition to his pioneering work in vitaminology, he investigated male and female hormones, gonadotropic hormones, antagonistic substances in the diet, deficiency diseases in cattle, and the importance of oncotine and oncostimuline in the treatment and prevention of cancer.
