REVIEW.

In consequence of there being many flies about, it was 
thought best to leave it to Nature for the present, to see if

Haycock ascribes to himself the credit of having “ developed;” 
and in doing so, in the first place, to examine how far 
they be new; and, in the second, how far they be sound . 
In the “ First Section ” of the “ First Part ” of the work, 
treating of “ Diseases of the Skin,” we find, in a catalogue of
