Robert Burton's psychiatric study "Anatomy of Melancholy" first printed in London 1621 is a learned work on various types of melancholia. The author cites numerous authorities and includes much curious lore about customs treatments secrets of nature psychology witchcraft dreams sickness demons ghosts and apparitions. Burton himself may have suffered from melancholia/depression. The 8th edition of Burton's book appeared in 1676. Authors such as Milton Johnson and Sterne found inspiration with Burton. Nevertheless in the 18th century the book fell into obscurity with no editions being issued. Interest in Burton's work increased during the Romantic Period and in 1800 J. Cundee published a 9th edition with corrections and with an account of the author's life. Other editions with further corrections and notes came out during the 19th century. Burton's work is now considered a classic of English literature. The first printing of the 11th edition by Vernor Hood & Sharpe appeared in 1806. This J. Walker; R. Lea; J.

"The first psychiatric encyclopedia citing nearly 500 medical authors and also a literary tour de force. Burton was prompted to write this book because of his own bouts with depression. It is one of the most popular psychiatric books ever written appearing in over 70 editions since its original publication. It was one of Sir William Osler's favourite books." - Garrison-Morton 4918.1. "Burton had read much and all that he had read . was incorporated in the Anatomy. . if ever a single book deserved to be called the work of a lifetime it is this. . All the learning of the age as well as its humour - and its pedantry - are there. It has something in common with Brant's 'Ship of Fools' Erasmus's 'Praise of Folly' and More's 'Utopia' with Rabelais and Montaigne and like these it exercised a considerable influence on the thought of the time." - PRINTING AND THE MIND OF MAN 118.

Although presented as a medical text The Anatomy of Melancholy is as much a sui generis work of literature as it is a scientific or philosophical text and Burton addresses far more than his stated subject.
