    A TREATISE ON THE INFLUENZA OF 1837, CONTAINING AN ANALYSIS OF ONE HUNDRED CASES, OBSERVED AT BIRMINGHAM, Between the 1st of January and the 15th of February, BY PEYTON BLAKISTON, M. A., Med. Ltc. Cantab., PHYSICIAN TO THE BIRMINGHAM DISPENSARY ANT TO THE MAGDALEN ASYLUM, AND LATE FELLOW OF EMANUEL COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE. By our constitution, we have a strong propensity to trace particular facts and observations to general rules, and to apply such general rules to account for other “ effects, or to direct us in the production of them. This procedure of the understand- ** ing is familiar to every human creature in the common affairs of life, and it is the only one by which any real discovery in philosophy can be made.”—Reid's Inquiry into the Human Mind, p. 18.
