    *Jr(/v€tiuemen /. The Author ha* it in contemplation, some time hereafter, to publish a Work on the Preservation of the Health of Ma- riners, Travellers, and Resident* in the warmer climates; or of those who may be inevitably obnoxious to irregular ex- posure, in variableness of circumstances. The principal constituents of the Work were incorporated at least ten years ago: but at the termination of the last warfare, the compo- sition was thrown aside, and the following notification was made at the time; “ The accidental closure of the Temple of Janus, may lead to the supposition of inutility in the subsequent observations. —A peaceable disposition is an admirable property in pos- session ; and may it last undisturbed. As, however, mari- time undertakings will continue in all commercial nations, and the probability of warlike irruptions, the suggestion* may not be altogether unavailing. 'The Work, if published, will have a principal reference to the Prevention of Disease. All the most remarkable circumstances, which may influence this grand object, will l»c taken into consideration. ** Hoc opus, hoc studium parvi properetnus et ampli, •Si patriir vohumis, « nobis virere cari.
