    PREFACE. In writing this little volume I have had three objects in view: first^ to give the general public some account of the introduction of the civil ele- ment and the anomalous position which it held in the Eastern Military Hospitals^ 2. whilst depre- cating the injustice which laid the blame of many evils ^ beyond their power to remedy, on some of my military confreres, to signalize defects in the organization of the Army-Medical-Department, which contributed to the general confusion and the deplorable state of the Army in the beginning of the late campaign, 3. to propose some changes in the Army-Medical-Department based on personal experience and information acquired in frequent intercourse with my colleagues of all nations.
