    ADVERTISEMENT. IT is due to myself to state, that the plan upon which the printing of these pages was commenced was subse- quently changed. It was my first intention only to have printed the de- tached papers I wrote at different times and published: hence the reader will find some pieces headed as copied from the Medical Repository ; an accident which would not have appeared so singular according to the first in- tention of printing. I am sensible that the style in which I have written, with obvious haste in many parts, is exceptionable; never- theless I would not take time to improve it, being only solicitous about the matter and the utility: A better dress can be given by those who have more leisure. I shall rejoice in every effort of others to disseminate the facts and theories contained, which I believe to be im- provements in medicine. Nor will this rejoicing cease, if those I have complained of, or their friends, attempt to do all the injury they can to the work. THOMAS EIVELL,
