TISSOT, Samuel Auguste.- Essai sur les maladies des gens du monde. Troisième édition, augmentée. Paris, P.F. Didot le jeune, 1772. In-12° : xvi-222-[2] pp. Rel. de l'époque : plein veau marbré, dos lisse fleuronné doré et étiq. de cuir rouge, tr. marbrées assorties aux gardes (coins et coupes émoussés, coiffes abs...).
Réédition de cet ouvrage un peu moins connu de Tissot (ses best-sellers furent "L'Onanisme", 1764, et l'"Avis au peuple sur sa santé", 1761).
Ouvrage de commande dans lequel Tissot ne s'est pas beaucoup investi, contenant qqs pathologies et remèdes généraux. Il estime que le défaut principal des nobles et courtisans n'est pas le manque de soin puisqu'ils sont "presque toujours à portée des secours [...] les plus éclairés", mais plutôt leur tendance à ne pas se prendre en charge car ces personnes "ne veulent pas déranger la façon de vivre qui les tue". Le sujet était pourtant original à l'époque puisqu'on avait déjà traité de la santé des pauvres, des princes, des soldats mais pas encore des "gens du monde". Il y remédia donc dans la foulée de son "Avis aux gens de lettres sur leur santé" paru en 1767.
L'originale parut à Lausanne en 1770.
