Excerpt from Diseases of the Tongue I would prepare a second edition, I was on a holiday on the Continent, and could not undertake the revision until my return home. The book was therefore reprinted with out addition or alteration. Some long time has elapsed ere I summoned the courage to undertake the labour of a new edition; nor should I have done so now had I not found a colleague in Mr. Walter Spencer, who is equally acceptable to Messrs. Cassell and myself. Owing to his efforts, the present work forms a more complete treatise on the diseases of the tongue than the clinical manual which, in the first instance, I was only able to prepare.
