The present work was prepared by Quincy to meet the need he perceived for a dictionary that included the many new terms introduced into the language of medicine since the advent of the Iatrophysical School (see No. 496). He felt that Blankaart's popular Lexicon medicum (see No. 675) was out of date and chose to model his dictionary on that of Castelli (see No. 380). Quincy's work went through more than eleven editions, the last in 1811.
