    With regard to his experience,—his cases, his facts, —the author was mysterious, as in his Essay he is unsatisfactory. If there be any new considerations presented in his Essay on Yellow Fever, it is hoped they will be valued for something else than their novelty. If any objections which this Criticism has raised, be found not to bear the test of experiment; it will give to the writer all that pleasure in acknowledgment of his errour, which can exist in the mind of a candid man, whose desire is to see the practice of physic resting on the immoveable basis of philosophical induction. TH. HENDERSON. Georgetown, May 1824*.
