Our remarks upon these ditFerent ar- 
rangements must be cursory. That of 
Vogel’s would appear at first sight to be the 
fullestj as comprising not less than five hun- 
dred and sixty distinct genera of diseases ; 
and that of Cullen’s the least complete, as 
extending to not more than a hundred and 
fifty ; but when it is reflected upon, that 
nearly five parts out of iix of the distinct 
genera of Vogel are regarded as mere 
species of other genera by Cullen, and ar- 
ranged accordingly ; tlie latter must at once 
be allowed to be equally full, and to possess 
a high advantage in point of simplicity. 
Sugar’s is the mostnumerous next to Vogel’s; 
and like Vogel’s it is numerous, not from the 
possession of additional matter, but from 
extending to distinct genera, diseases of the 
same genus, and which ought to rank 
merely as separate species, or even va- 
rieties. In the general arrangement of 
these nosologists, we perceive a consider- 
able resemblance to that of Sauvage : their 
classes, though differently disposed, are 
nearly alike as well in name as in number ; 
yet Sauvage’s is the most simple, at the 
same time that it is the most comprehen- 
sive. The arrangement of Linnaeus is like 
all his arrangements, neat and classical, 
perhaps the most classical of the whole of 
those now before us. His system is in a great 
measure his own : he has however more 
classes, and genera, but fewer orders than 
Sauvage ; and it is not always that the 
terms of his classes are sufficiently charac- 
teristic of the diseases that rank under' 
them. Many of those that are disposed 
under the class quietales, for example, are 
as much diseases of the mind, as several 
that are placed immediately under the 
class men tales; and we are afraid that the- 
term dolorosi peculiarly applied to Class 
IV. is just as applicable to a great multitud e 
of diseases distributed under other classes, 
as it is to the tribe which is thus con- 
nectively arranged. 
Of Or. Cullen’s table it is obvious that its 
chief features are due to himself alone — his 
classes are for the most part simple, and at 
the same time comprehensive, his orders 
are natural, and his genera ably disposed. 
The most objectionable of his classes is the 
last, or that entitled locales, which, like the 
cryptogamia of Linnaeus’s botanical system, 
is a mere appendix for the purpose of com- 
prehending whatever could not conveni- 
ently be disposed under the previous heads. 
There is also some confusion as to a few of 
his orders; and we may here enumerate 
profluvia in Cla.ss I. compared with apo- 
cenoses in Class IV. since the foiiner is only 
a Latin, and the latter a Greek word of the 
same meaning; and since the diseases in the 
former order are only distinct genera of the 
latter in many instances ; there is also some 
doubt as to the situation of several of his 
genera. Nevertheless, it is upon the whole, 
the best division that has hitherto ap- 
peared ; it is far more generally studied 
and lectured from than any other ; and 
under this division therefore we shall pro- 
ceed to notice ciu-sorily the xiifferent genera 
according to this classification, and to de- 
scribe the character and mode of cure of the 
more common or more prominent. 
PRAXIS. 
This is the last division comprised under 
this article ; and, from the explanation we 
have just given of it, it is obvious that it is 
the most important. 
CLASS 1. 
PYREXI.®. 
Frequent pulse, succeeded by shivering or 
horror ; increased heat; disturbed functions ; 
prostration of strength. 
Order I. Febris. Fever. 
Pyrexy independent of local affection as 
its cause ; languor, lassitude, and other signs 
of debility. 
This order is divided into two sections, 
an intermittent, including tertians, quar- 
tans, and quotidians, with the different va- 
rieties of these distinct genera ; and conti- 
nued, which include tlie genera of synocha, 
or simple inflammatory fever ; typhus, pu- 
trid, or jail-fever ; and synoehus, a mixed 
fever commencing like the first and termi- 
nating like the second. The intermittent 
family are defined as follows : Fevers 
arising from the miasm of marshy grounds 
with an evident , remission, tlie returning
