are peculiarly interested receive little more than brief mention. Thus, 
under the discussion of Delhi boil, or tropical ulcer, there is not even

of these widespread affections, no mention being made of the work of 
Wright, Strong, or James.

tries peculiarly impresses its characteristics upon the tourist, is described 
in a general and rather misleading way. 
After all is considered, it is necessary to admit that it would be 
difficult to conceive of a work more to be recommended for the purpose 
designated in the preface, namely, as a guide for those engaged in 
general practice.
