    Originally written, more than thirty years since,. in the few hours which I could spare from the all- absorbing occupations of an important professor- ship in the Medical College, and a very extensive private practice, it was, I am well aware, in many respects, imperfect. If I had continued, for a few years longer, to hold the position I then occupied, I should have endeavoured to bring out a second, and as far as I was able, an improved, edition of my work. But I retired early from India, and from active professional life, and the task was taken up by more competent writers, by whom various excel- lent and greatly improved editions from time to time have been produced. I have no hesitation in saying that the present one is for many reasons superior to its prede- cessors. It is written very carefully, and with much knowledge and experience on the author's part, whilst it possesses the great advantage of bringing up the subject to the present level of medical science. H. H. Goodeve. Cook's Folly, near Bristol, July, 1879.
