Emmenologia has been considered a remarkable exposition from the iatro-mathematical or mechanical point of view. In 1704 he was appointed to the chair of Chemistry in Oxford and delivered lectures theron in the Asmolean Museum, and in 1705 went as army physician to Spain with the Earl of Peterborough. (Ferguson I:290-91). Freind is furthermore considered the first English historian of medicine.
