animadversiones quaedam. Diss. inaug. med. Lips. 1819. 29. S. 4.
(_Gust. Adolph Werner_, “Some Thoughts on the Origin and Progress of
the Venereal Disease,”—a Medical Graduation Exercise. Leipzig 1819. pp.
29. 4to.).
Maintains the antiquity of the Disease, citing again the passages
already known. The Ancients, he says, confounded Syphilis with Leprosy;
the Immorality prevailing at the end of the XVth. Century and the
arrival of the Moors in Italy were the original cause and occasion
of the general extension of the Disease. According to _Choulant_ in
_Pierer_, Allgem. Med. Annalen, Year 1825. p. 237., _Prof. Heinrich
Robbi_ was the Author of this Dissertation.

Progress of the Venereal Disease in Denmark.” Copenhagen 1820. 8vo. In
German in Hufeland’s Journ. vol. 55. pp. 1-51).
Shows that Venereal Disease became known in Denmark after 1495; that
its treatment was given over especially to the Surgeons and quacks;
also an account of the medical Police-regulations against the Disease.

Contagion,—introductory to his Work on this Disease.” Lucca 1820. 8vo.).
Appears to be not yet at all well known in Germany. Neither through the
booksellers nor in any other way could we obtain the Work. It would
seem to be out of print.
