    extracts have been made, it is not only because ]\Ir. Lucas has expressed his thoughts on simi- lar subjects in better language, and more to the purpose than I had done,* but, because I wish to induce my readers, in the same manner as readers are often induced, by a perusal of vari- ous extracts of a work, recommended, as in- teresting, or pleasing, by some of our periodi- cal publications, to purchase the work for themselves; a work, which, in truth, ought no more to be wanting in the shop of every Apo- thecary, than the Pharmacopoeia, or the utensils necessary in carrying on his business. Nor would it be justice to pass over in silence, the assistance I have received from Mi\ Par- kinson's Hospital Pupil, a book, the perusal of which I would wish to recommend most earnestly to every parent who has, it in con- templation to bring up a son to the Medical profession, I am perfectly avcU convinced, that if every * Tliis was tlic ease with tlie first chapter, addressed to Pauents and Guardians. I liad written nearly tlic whole of a first chapter, before I met with Mr. Lucas’s book ; but having perused what he had written on the same subject, I was so much better pleased with it, that I rejected my own matter, and substituted those extracts from Mr. Lucas, which are now presented to the reader.
