This is a very old book of poems dating from 1744. The four books are four aspects of what is needed to create and maintain health: Air; Diet; Exercise; The Passions. The first three are straightforward. In 'the passions' Armstrong is really talking about mental health and describes it thus, " it now remains to trace What good what evil from ourselves proceeds: And how the subtle principle within Inspires with health, or mines with strange decay The passive body."

John Armstrong's 2000-line poem The Art of Preserving Health was among the most popular works of eighteenth-century literature and medicine. It was among the first to popularize Scottish medical ideas concerning emotional and anatomical sensibility to British readers, doing so through the then-fashionable georgic style. Within three years of its publication in 1744, it was in its third edition, and by 1795 it commanded fourteen editions printed in London, Edinburgh, Dublin, and Benjamin Franklin's shop in Philadelphia. Maintaining its place amongst more famous works of the Enlightenment, this poem was read well into the nineteenth century, remaining in print in English, French, and Italian. It remained a tribute to sustained interest in eighteenth-century sensibility, long after its medical advice had become obsolete and the nervous complaints it depicted became unfashionable. Adam Budd's critical edition includes a comprehensive biographical and textual introduction, and explanatory notes highlighting the contemporary significance of Armstrong's classical, medical, and social references. Included in his introduction are discussions of Armstrong's innovative medical training in charity hospitals and his close associations with the poet James Thomson and the bookseller Andrew Millar, evidence for the poem's wide appeal, and a compelling argument for the poem's anticipation of sensibility as a dominant literary mode. Budd also offers background on the 'new physiology' taught at Edinburgh, as well as an explanation for why a Scottish-trained physician newly arrived in London was forced to write poetry to supplement his medical income. This edition also includes annotated excerpts from the key literary and medical works of the period, including poetry, medical prose, and georgic theory. Readers will come away convinced of the poem's significance as a uniquely engaging perspective on the place of poetry, medicine, the body, and the book trade in the literary history of eighteenth-century sensibility.

Excerpt from Seven Lectures on the Philosophy of Life, and the Art of Preserving Health The inanimate worlds move and gravitate, and are chemically changed from form to form. The animate worlds live and reproduce their kind, and die, in obedi ence to fixed and unchangeable laws. These laws the intellect of man can discover and understand, and thus render his dominion co'extensive with his knowledge. So far as we understand the laws of nature, we can bring all substances governed by them beneath their action, and thus produce the results which we desire. So far as we understand the Creator's laws, he invests us with his power. When knowledge enables us to speak as with the flaming tongue of lightning across a continent, is it not the same as though we had power to call down the swiftest angel from heaven and send him abroad as the messenger of our thoughts 2 When a knowledge of the sciences of astronomy and naviga tion enables us to leave any port we please on this side of the globe, and thread our labyrinthine way, among contrary winds, and through the currents and counter currents of the ocean, and enter any port we please on the opposite Side of the globe, is it not the same as though the Creator, for this purpose, had endowed us with his all-seeing vision and enabled us to look through clouds and darkness around the convex earth?
