Dr Michael Leach, reviewing Medicine and Society in Late Eighteenth-Century Berkshire (2024) in The Local Historian (August 2024), commends the “detailed analysis” in an introduction which is “an excellent example of how to make really good use of all the available source material”. He concludes that the book “provides a fascinating account of both eighteenth-century life, and the work of a medical practitioner who lived on the cusp between superstition and witchraft, and scientific medicine. It is thoroughly annotated and referenced, and has a comprehensive index.”
