Excerpt from Medical Inquiries and Observations, Vol. 1: Four Volumes in Two The author of the following edition of Medical In quiries, and Observations, has changed the order in which 8t ral oi the subjects were arranged in the former editions. He has given the Lectures upon Animal Life the first place in the first volume, and has arranged the histories of Epi demies in succession to each other. Some facts have been added to several Of the Inquiries, particularly to the Lec tures upon Animal Life, to the History of the Phaenomena of Fever, to the Observations upon the Gout, and to the Defence Of Blood-letting; but no alteration has been made in any of the Medical principles Of the author. He has preferred the term of phaenomena to that of theory Of fever, because he conceives the doctrine he has aimed to establish upon that subject, rests upon facts only, Obvi ous not only to reason, but in most instances, to the senses.
