    PREFATORY NOTICE. THe author of the following Essay—which is pub- lished in accordance with the expressed opinion of the adjudicators—although not coming before the public with the prestige of the successful competitor, has at least the satisfaction of being second to one so worthy of his well-earned reputation as Dr. W. B. Carpenter. If some of the latest facts connected with the subject under discussion are unnoticed in the following pages, it is in some degree owing to the circumstance that the Essay was prepared and sent in at the period first fixed upon for the reception of the manuscripts ; and that it is somewhat irksome, and not always possible, without much inconvenience, — amid the engagements and anxieties of a country general practice,—to make ad- ditions to a work already regarded as out of hand and completed. Haunton; Clifton Campville, Burton. on-Trent; Feb. 22, 1850.
