About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of An Essay of the Shaking Palsy by James Parkinson. Read in English by KevinS This publication is said to be the first to present a systematic view of what was later named Parkinson's disease. Six case studies are described and some speculation is offered as to the causes of 'paralysis agitans,' the author's name for the observed disease or condition. Parkinson offered the essay as encouragement to those performing nosological work and physical pathology to address the malady. - Summary by KevinS
