Author Description

Excerpt from Five Dissertations on Fever But returning to the work before us, we repeat the regret express cd in the advertisement to its first American edition namely, that it was not revised and illustrated by those it ho were competent to the task, and who were capes/ed Io have undertaken it. But let us nevertheless add, that these I'ire Dissertations on Fever, naked and unprotected as they have been, have still attracted notice and respect that the defects in them have been forgiven; and that no physiologist or physician, aouerna ante, is ever likely to read them with proper attention, without being led into new and impor tant reections - Ye may say farther namely, that since the days of good philosoph (of which Dr. Cullen saw at least the dawn) we have had an assem logo of writers in the Eu lish languao'e on the subject of Fever; such as Darwin, Clutterbuc Beddoes, ush, '. Vilson Philip, Robert Jackson, Armstrong, Mason Good, and others;l and y et none probably will den y a distinguished place among them to our author on account of his Dissertations coming as they do from an experienced, original, contemplative, and successful Practitioner.
