The Spleen: An Epistle Inscribed To His Particular Friend Mr. C. J. (1738) is a book written by Matthew Green. It is a satirical poem in the form of an epistle, addressed to Green’s friend, Mr. C. J. The poem is a humorous exploration of the human spleen and its effects on the body and mind. Green uses witty and playful language to describe the various symptoms of spleen, such as melancholy, irritability, and apathy. He also pokes fun at the various remedies and cures that were popular at the time, such as drinking mineral waters and taking trips to the countryside. The Spleen is a lighthearted and entertaining read that provides a fascinating glimpse into the medical beliefs and practices of the 18th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
