discussions relating to diet, health, and morality—especially that of rich, white men—during the latter half of eighteenth century (figure 8.3).

Some of this dietary writing revolved around the place of vegetables in a healthy diet. In 1743, the year Cheyne died, the Florentine physician and naturalist Antonio Cocchi advocated “an herbaceous, aqueous, sparing and tender diet,” as part of a healthy regimen.33 Cocchi, who put more trust in regimen than medicines, advocated a diet of fresh, uncooked vegetables and fruits, and clear water, avoiding meat and fish. Not only would it keep people healthy longer, it would also prevent diseases such as gout, elephantiasis, and rheumatism, and suppress “by temperance, our most noxious desires.” This was all caused by an excess of crude, indigestible matter remaining in the body. By contrast, the presence of fluids carried throughout the body, as generated by vegetables, promoted insensible transpiration and, therefore, health. Cocchi did not refer to Cheyne, but both expressed a preference for herbs (good) over spices (bad), water over wine, fresh milk over aged cheeses. However, although Cocchi’s diet was strict,

cooking pot names might have been lacking in comparable English households (although regional terminology can complicate identification), but by the middle of the eighteenth century, the presence of stewpans and skillets, porridge pots, tea kettles, boilers, and pots in copper, tin, bellmetal, and brass, suggests diversification and specialization by usage. This said, both Parisian and English inventories across the period display a common property; what differentiates wealthier households from poorer ones in their cooking equipment is not necessarily more specialized tools, but rather a greater quantity of a similar range of tools, and better quality materials.42 Even in those areas where fish kettles and saucepans didFIGURE not make such 8.2: The scientific eater. Santorio Santorio and his “weighing machine,” engraving (London: Newton, 1718). © Wellcome Library, London. an impact, and the reading of the inventory evidence “suggests the continuation of very simple methods of cooking,” there were small but perceptible theory from no doubt was, and certainly influential; but Santorio’s dietary shifts in the form and variety of cooking equipment; for the example, recommendations, as well as his view of the place evacuation had in the the use of brass to the use of cheaper tinned cooking vessels, and the entry structure of the so-called non naturals, remained firmly Galenic.

The second medical trend to make an impact was the iatrochemistry (or chemical medicine) of Paracelsus. This saw disease and the processes of the body in chemical terms. However, even authors who followed Paracelsus in prescribing chemical drugs did not stray far from Galenic tradition. The structure of Joseph Duchesne’s Le pourtraict de la santé was largely familiar, as was much of the advice, but the rationale was now chemical.18 For instance, Duchesne regarded black pepper as least rather than most warming, its spicy quality coming from the “aromatic salt” it contained, which broke down all the incrustations and viscosity in the stomach and other organs. Yet his conclusion was the same: pepper was beneficial to digestion and good for combating a range of diseases.

promenading and carriage riding, extending the axes into huge tree plantations and, at the Villas Borghese and Pamphilj, a hunting park that contained groves, cow pastures, and a lake with ducks and other waterfowl. At both the Villas Borghese and Pamphilj, the design of the parks was more coherent than what we can surmise for the Villa Giulia: these two parks were unified through continuous tree plantings that tied together the formal and the informal areas, relying on the unity provided by a limited range of trees species. For example, in both parks, tall umbrella pines, fir trees, holm oaks, and laurels predominated, planted in clear and massive groupings. Also, both hunting parks contained very large open areas with meadows treated naturalistically, as if they were untouched pieces of the open Campagna farther away from Rome: perceptually graspable in a single glance because of their openness, and conceptually referring to a single comprehensive category—the grazing landscape—they provided a higher level of coherence than the plantings predominant at the Villa Giulia. Yet, even so, all of these parks relied on the juxtaposition of sevADAM MACK 81 eral distinct components (formal garden, boschetti, meadows, etc.) in homage to an ancient aesthetic of contrast and surprise.38 The larger landscape was one element, not the whole narrative. and women who chased the sensory thrills synonymous with the decade’s consumer culture found them chiefly in urban areas.

The Bloomsbury Encyclopedia of the American Enlightenment TWO-VOLUME SET Edited by Mark G. Spencer, Brock University, Canada

The first reference work on this key subject in early American history.

With over 500 original essays, The Bloomsbury Encyclopedia of the American Enlightenment provides a comprehensive account to complement the intense scholarly activity that has recently centered on the European Enlightenment. With substantial and original essays on the major American Enlightenment figures, including Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, David Rittenhouse, Benjamin Rush, Jonathan Edwards and many others, this wide-ranging collection also includes topical essays and entries on dozens of often-overlooked secondary figures. It has long been known that Americans made their own contributions to the Enlightenment, most notably by putting Enlightenment ideas to work in defining the American Revolution, the United States Constitution, and the nature of the early American Republic. These volumes show that the American Enlightenment was more far reaching than even that story assumes.
