Abstract: "Harold Cook traces the history of London's College of Physicians from the time of its greatest authority in the 1630s until its juridical failure in 1704. His account of the changes in medical regulation that took place during this period forces a rethinking of the relations among medical practice, intellectural values, and the changing economic and cultural framework of seventeenth-century London"--
