Excerpt from Religio Medici
During the next hundred and fifty years only about four editions appeared; but early in the second quarter of the present century the little book, which seemed almost forgotten in the publishing world, was being edited Simultaneously by a Norwich bookseller, an Oxford undergraduate, and an American divine; and in 1831, after an interval of nearly eighty years, a precocious youth of nineteen 2 had the honour of once more bringing it before public notice.3 It has since been republished seven times in England, and four times in America, so there is no probability of its ever again falling into comparative oblivion.
