Excerpt from Principles of Pathology and Practice of Physic, Vol. 1 The Author wishes his work to be regarded merely as a book of facts, carefully collected and examined - he lays no claim to be considered more wise, learned, or original, than any other profes sioual man in the enjoyment Of similar advantages, and who has pursued the same patient method Of investigating diseases. He has been very sparing in the introduction of hypothetical discus sions, and when he has attempted to explain or establish any point by reasoning, he trusts it will be found for the most part to be strictly inductive.
