![In the prefent work, not only the] accounts of difeafes for 1796, 1797, and 1799, are amplified, but Reports, en- tirely new, with various collateral ob- fervations, are added for the year 1798; alfo for 180O, a year remarkable for its temperature, and for an unufual feries of complaints. Any irregularities* which appear in the lifts of difeafes will, I hope* be excufed, a nice arrangement of them not having been the primary objedt. The generic diftindtions and varieties muft be principally referred to the nofologv of Sauvages. In forming the three claffrs of Acute, Chronic, and Periodical Dif- eafes, the ufual plan of nofologifts has not been oblcrved. All the writers on this fubjedt, influenced, perhaps, by the opi- nion of Sydenham,f have not only in- cluded Intermittents under the denomi- nation of Fever, but confidered one of their paroxyfms as an epitome of Fevers in general, the different forms of which are faid to confift merely of a repetition * The fame generic titles are found fomctiir.es among the Chronic, fometim.s among Acute Difeafes, according to the ftatc of the fymptoms. f Seff.i. cap. i.
