SUMMARY:

A medical treatise calledAnthropologia Nova, or a New System of Anatomy, was published just before Drake\'s death in 1707. In it he had the collaboration ofWilliam Cowper, for both text and plates. Contractually the book was a legacy of a project involving insteadClopton Havers, author ofOsteologia nova(1691), who had died in 1702; and as a consequence used plates copied fromStephan Blancard. Drake\'s wife Judith edited the work and secured a dedication toHenry Somerset, 2nd Duke of Beaufort.

Anthropologia Novareached a second edition in 1717, and a third in 1727. It was edited byWilliam Wagstaffe, and was popular up to the publication ofWilliam Cheselden\'sAnatomy.Drake had in it a theory ofacquired immunitytosmallpox, which was then taken up byClifton Drake(1667–1707) was an English physician and political writer, aJacobiteandFellow of the Royal is Good/Very Good.
