A physician and medical reformer enthused by the scientific and
cultural progress of the Enlightenment as it took hold in Britain,
Thomas Percival (1740 1804) wrote on many topics, including public
health and demography. His influential publication on medical
ethics is considered the first modern formulation. In 1807, his son
Edward published this four-volume collection of his father's
diverse work. Some of the items here had never been published
before, including a selection of Percival's private correspondence
and a biographical account written by Edward. Volume 1 contains
this biography and the full text of Percival's popular
self-improvement book, A Father's Instructions, originally intended
for his own children and then published in three parts between 1775
and 1800. His Medical Ethics (1803) and Essays Medical and
Experimental (revised edition, 1772 3) have been reissued
separately in this series."
