    iv PREFACE. T have selected from the essays written by several emi- nent physicians sundry pieces, respecting the nature, — prevention and cure of the disease. These, I trust will be perused by my readers with pleasure and profit. For the list of the names of the deceased, I am indebted to his Honour the Mayor, to whom [ thus publicly return my © thanks, as also to ithe City Inspector, who obligingly fa- voured me with the names of those persons, who died of Yellow Fever after the Board had closed its daily sittings. ; My aim in every page. has been truth, accuracy and a sincere desire to promote the public good, and in order to effect these desirable objects, I have spent considerable labour. How far I have succeeded, I can- not determine; but of this IT am certain, that I meant well and have used my best endeavours to render the work as satisfactory to the public as possible. 7 JAMES HARDIE, New-York, November 12, 1822,
