158 Catalogue of the Works of 



Berzelius on Definite Proportions, from the German, appeared in several

A Theory of the Tides. Nicholson, July, Aug. 1813. 



An Introduction to Medical Literature, including a System of 

 Practical Nosology, 8vo. London, 1813 : a work of considerable labour, 

 though far less arduous than the " Natural Philosophy." The Appendix 

 contains an Abstract of Berzelius's Animal Chemistry, from the Swedish. 

 To a second Edition, published in 1823, were added the References to 

 later Journals, and an Essay on Palpitations, which first appeared in the 

 fifth Volume of the Medical Transactions of the College of London.

A Practical and HrsTORicAL Treatise on Consumptive Diseases, 

 8vo. London, 1815; being a condensed abstract of every thing recorded to

 some Remarks on Egyptian Papyri, and on the Inscription of Rosetta, 

 annexed to a Communication made by Sir William Edward Rouse Boughton, 

 Bart. They contain an interpretation of the principal parts of both the
