The guardian goddess of health: or, The whole art of preventing and curing diseases; and of enjoying peace and happiness of body and of mind to the longest possible period of human existence: with precepts for the preservation and exaltation of personal beauty and loveliness. To which is added, an account of the composition, preparation, and properties of the three great medicines prepared and dispensed at the Temple of Health, Adelphi, and at the Temple of Hymen, Pall-Mall, London. By James Graham, M.D. This book is of so much real importance to the health and happiness of each individual among the public, that tho' it contains more matter or reading than most two shilling pamphlets, it is ordered to be sold for only two pence; - a price very inadequate to the prime cost of the paper, printing, distribution, &c. But salus populi suprema lex est!

Most beautifully engraved on 120 large folio copper-plates, from the exquisite drawings of the late ingenious T. Sheldrake. English Plants are drawn from Nature to the greatest Accuracy, Flowers, or Parts, too small to be distinguished, are magnified. Nothing in any Language exceeds this Thirty Years laborious Work, of which may truly be said that Nature only equals it, every Thing of the Kind, hitherto attempted, being trivial, compared to this inimitable Performance. Designed to promote Botanical Knowledge, prevent Mistakes in the Use of Simples in compounding and preparing Medicines, to illustrate, and render such Herbals as want the just Representations in their proper Figures and Colours more useful. Necessary to such as practise Physic, Pharmacy, Chemistry, &c. entertaining to the Curious, the Divine and Philosopher, in contemplating these wonderful Productions, - Useful to Painters, Heralds, Carvers, Designers, Gardeners, &c. The Colours of every Part are minutely described; for Utility it must be esteemed preferable to any Hortus Siccus extant. The Means to preserve Fruits, and dry Flowers, in their Native Form and Colour, are not yet discovered; Plants cannot be preserved to Persection. The Flowers, when coloured, are represented in their original Bloom, and Fruits in the inviting Charms of Maturity. To which now is added, his tables for finding the heat and cold in all climates, That Exotic Plants may be raised in Summer, and preserved in Winter.
