The second volume of Burton's masterful work, The Anatomy of Melancholy, this edition includes the text and textual apparatus for "The Second Partition."

In the "Digression of the Ayre," he presents a remarkable synthesis of the cultural, geographical, and climatic influences on temperament, and in the final two sections presents extensive remedies from both physics and surgery.
