    ADVERTISEMENT. This Dissertation was intended, until nearly printed, to have been prefixed to a succinct account of the Epidemic Fevers of Dublin for more than twenty-five years, prepared by the Author to form the second part of his “Pathological Observations and in presenting this statement of his pathological principles, with¬ out the advantages of the illustrations afforded by the history of epidemics, he is aware how much it further needs the kind indulgence of the public. Being desirous, however, to embrace the present interesting period, he now purposes to include the whole of the current year; wishing, in the interval, to avail him¬ self of the highly-valued judgment (on this introductory part) of some friends, as well as of the censorship of the perio¬ dical journals, from which he has already received not only encouragement, but very important aid—aid which must be peculiarly estimable to him when engaged in pioneering a way, though not entirely new, yet so long neglected and choked up, that he could not venture to encounter the difficulties it pre¬ sents, did he not hope for the assistance of those whose success in exploring the paths of science, has been generally ac¬ knowledged.
