This is the first volume in a three-part work recovering the correspondence of an exceptional eighteenth-century medical student from Hamburg, J.A.H. Reimarus, member of a key German Enlightenment family. Partners in the correspondence include his father Hermann Samuel Reimarus, sister Elise, and cousin Hermann Daniel Evers. During his studies in Göttingen, Leiden, Edinburgh, and London, Reimarus encounters such luminaries as Albrecht Haller, Alexander Monro sr. and jr., Erasmus Darwin, James Keir, and William Hunter. The letters discuss student life, shifts in medical training, female higher education, communication and travel, law, currency realities, and political events leading up to the Seven Years War.
