    Six thousand copies of the first edition of this work having been disposed of, and the demand since it has been out of print having been continuous, it has been de- termined to bring out a second edition. ]No alteration of importance has been made in arrangement, but each page has been carefully revised. The author has aimed at brevity, simplicity, and utility; and trusts that the second edition of his little work may be as well received by those for whom it is written as the first. The latest alterations made in the Scale of Medicines, as well as the clauses of the ' Regis- tration Act/ 'Merchant Shipping Act, 1854,' and the 'Passengers' Act, 1855/ relating to the health of seamen, have been added to the present edition.
