"In the present edition, as in the first, all attempts at elegant phraseology have been sacrificed to brevity of description; the great aim has been, to place within the means of the medical man, the creed, as it were, of his profession, by which his recollection of its principals might be quickened, and the experience of others brought within his immediate grasp. The subjects are generally described under their common appellations, together with their derivations, and the terms which science has attached to them." - Preface.[
