(_Wilh. Ernest. Christ. Aug. Sickler_, “Dissertation containing some fresh Material towards a History of the Venereal Disease.” Jena 1797. (Apr. 8.) pp. 32. 8vo.). The Author here treats some of the passages from the Old Testament referring to the Plague of the Jews that spread amongst them on account of their worshipping Baal Peor, which had not before been used. The little Work seems not to have been made use of by later Writers; neither _Hacker_ nor _Choulant_ note it. The Author’s brother had first called attention to the passages in _Augusti_ “Theologische Blätter”, Gotha, No. 13. 23) _Dr. Schaufus_, Neueste Entdeckungen über das Vaterland und die Verbreitung der Pocken und der Lustseuche.

Chirurg. Zeitung. Insbruck 1806. Vol. I. p. 375. _Pierer_, Allgem. Med. Annalen. 1866. p. 364. The Author derives Venereal Disease from the East Indies and makes the Gypsies bring it to Europe. From p. 65 to the conclusion of the Work he treats fully of the Venereal Disease in the islands of the South Sea, and at the same time gives an exhaustive list of the authorities on this subject. 24) _Carol.

Törnberg_, “Selection of Medical “Programs”,—giving a Historical Synopsis of Views as to the True Origin of Syphilis.” Jena 29 Aug. 1807. pp. 26. 8vo.). The Author decides for the American origin, but without adducing anything fresh. 25) _J. B. C. Rousseau_, New observations on Syphilis, tending to settle the disputes about its importation, by proving that it is a disease of the human race, that has and will always exist among the several Nations of the Globe.

II. in the London Medical Repository 1814. Vol. II. pp. 112-119, 185-192. The Author maintains the antiquity of Venereal Disease, but denies that the Malady which prevailed amongst the French at the siege of Naples was true Syphilis; he supposes it rather to have been a fever resembling the Plague accompanied by pustulous eruptions. A later Paper in the same Periodical, 1818. vol. IX. pp. 465-495., contains the result of his observations in Spain during the War, so far as they confirm his earlier views. 27) _Rob. Hamilton_, On the early History and Symptoms of Lues. In the Edinburgh medical and surgical Journal 1818. Vol. XIV. pp. 485-498. The Author seeks to prove that the Disease at the end of the XVth. Century was not “Lues Venerea”, but “Sibbens”. Comp. _Ehrhardt_, Med. Chirurg. Zeitung. 1819. Vol. I. p. 198.
