    a wi A Letter to young Phyficians, Apothecaries, &e. Wuen I haddetermined on Reading LeGures, it was amy. Study fo to treat on the feveral Branches of the me- dical Art, asin aconcife, clear, and convincing Man- ner to deliver my. Sentiments of. them 3, and after a careful Confideration, I fixed on the Method propofed in my-Introduétion to this Compendium. Somes, perhaps, imagine, there is no Occafion for Leétures on the Prattice of Phyfick : but indeed there are the fame Reafons to think there is no Occafion for Leé&ureson Anatomy, and Midwifry, &c.- Tuere are Books wrote on thofe Sciences, as well as on Phyfick : but itis an Advantage in any “Art for a Perfon, feeking after the Knowledge of it, to be in- ftructed viwd Voce by one,who has long practifed i it, and is capable of An{wering Quéftions, and Solving Difficul- ties about it. THERE are many valuable Books relating to Phy- fick ; and I would advife thofe, who have Leifure for it, to read, and improve them. Wuat T propofe, is to communicate in a few Lec- tures, fuch a Sy/tem of medical Knowledge as may qua- lify Perfons for praétifing Phyfick in fuch a Manner as with the Blefing of God, willbe happy for the Ps: who fhall employ them. — I pleafe myfelf with the Apprehenfion, that tho, who underitand Azatomy and thall become Mafters of the feveral Parts of the Sy/femI thall deliver to them, will be capable of Paffing under an ample Examination.to the Satisfa€tion of their Examiners. Anp I hope that the Time I fhall fpendj fome Winter Evenings in thofe Leétures, will not only be ufe- ful to thofe, wo fhall hear them, but redound to the Good of Mankind in General. AND it Is a great Pleafure to me, that I have been enabled fo to treat on the feveral Things relating to. the Praétice of Phyfick, as togo thro’ the. WHOLE within the Space of eight Weeks. lam, GENTLEMEN, Your very humble Servant, THeorHitus Lora.
