  • William Cheselden publishes Anatomy of the Human Body and it becomes a popular work on anatomy, at least in part due to it being written in English rather than Latin.
  • Italian Bernardino Ramazzini provides one of the first descriptions of task-specific dystonia in his book of occupational diseases, Morbis Artificum,[3] noting in chapter II of its Supplementum that "Scribes and Notaries" may develop "incessant movement of the hand, always in the same direction … the continuous and almost tonic strain on the muscles... that results in failure of power in the right hand".
