The Cures of the Diseased in Forraine Attempts of the English Nation

Abstract

THE short tract now published in facsimile by the Clarendon Press was written by one George Wateson, doubtless George Whetstone, the Elizabethan playwright. Hakluyt, in the dedication to Sir Robert Cecil of the third volume of his “Voyages,” refers to this tract, and says that he showed it to Dr. William Gilbert, Queen Elizabeth's physician, who found it “very defective and imperfect.”
