As the foregoing dofes are intended for the adult pa¬ 
tient, we (hall here fubjoin Gaubius’s Table of the pro¬ 
portionate dofes for children; though it will immediately 
occur to the judicious practitioner, that the quantities 
mud vary, not with age only, but with fex, conftitution, 
and (till more with the intensity of the difeafe.

In making our acknowledgments to the authors from 
whole works we have derived the large body of infor¬ 
mation compreffed into this article, we mult be excufed 
for omitting the names of a multitude of writers who 
have merely, furniflied a few infulated fa£is or curfory 
obfervations. We mud be excufed alfo from inferting 
the names of fome whofe labours have ad'orded us infor¬ 
mation, led we (hould attribute to an^ one opinions 
which he does not hold, but which our own error may 
have caufed us to attribute to him. Ladly, we hope to 
da.nd excufed for fome whom we have inadvertently for¬ 
gotten. 
The hidorical part of this Treatife has been chiedy 
compiled from the works of Sprengel, Freind, Haller, 
Miller, Le Clerc, Blumenbach, Schultze, &c. and from 
Good’s Hidory of Medicine. 
In the hidory of the prefent date of medicine, we have 
employed Sir Charles Morgan’s Appendix to Lady Mor¬ 
gan’s “ Italy.” Broughton’s Letters from Portugal. 
Clarke’s Notes on the Hofpitals of Italy, France, &c. 
The Revue Medicale. Journal des Dcbats; and feveral 
excellent treatifes and extracts in the Quarterly Journal 
of Foreign Medicine, 1820 , 21 . M. Efquirol’s Memoire 
prefente au Minidre de l’lnterieur. Clarke on the Cli¬ 
mate and Difeafes of the South of France and Italy. 
Bianchi’s trandation of Chani Zadek Mehemmed Ata- 
Oullah, a work lately publidted in Turkey on Surgery 
and Anatomy. 
For the hidory of Nofology we are entirely indebted 
to Dr. Good, as well as for the Cladidcation itfelf. And 
“we here again beg leave to tender to this gentleman our 
admiration of his philological knowledge. It cannot be 
fuppofed, from the general tenor of our views, but that 
we look forward to afydem of medicine which (hould be 
very much releafed from the trammels of a never-ending 
lid of names; but, at the fame time, as far as grand di- 
vidons and an accurately-condruCled nomenclature are 
regarded, we humbly offer our opinion, that Dr. Good 
has left little to be wifhed. As a piece of medical infor¬ 
mation, w'e cannot avoid mentioning that when nine- 
tenths of this article were publifhed, Dr. Good gave to 
the world a large work, entitled the Study of Medicine, 
which is intended to render complete his labours in this 
fcience. We have not yet feen it; but report fpeaks 
very favourably of its merits. 
LOGY, 
The general principles or Diagnofis have been for the 
mod part taken from Dr. Marfhall Hall’s work “On 
Diagnofis.” 
The (hort (ketch of General Pathology is drawn from 
the well-known works of Parry, Nicholl, and Brouffais. 
The Pathological Anatomy interfperfed over a large 
portion of the article, we have taken from the fydematic 
works of Baillie, Farre, Laennec, and Brouffais; or from 
practical monographs. 
The authors whom we have confulted in the clafa 
Cceliaca, or difeafes of the digedive function, are— 
Daubenton, Abernethy, Philip, Hall, Brouffais, Parry, 
Hunter, Hamilton, and J. Johnfon ; Baillie, White, 
Coley, Sherwin, and Arnott, on changes of dru 6 ture in 
the intedinal tube ; J. Johnfon, Bayle, Farre, and He- 
berden, on hepatic and dyfenteric maladies; Brera, 
Baillie, Hooper, and Chamberlaine, on worms. 
In the dais Pneumatics, or difeafes of the refpiratory 
function, we have borrowed much from Badhatn, 
Hadings, Bree, and Alcock. 
For the order Pyredica, we are indebted to Cullen, 
Darwin, Bateman, Clutterbuck, Armdrong, Jackfon, 
Frank, Nicholls, Park, Fordyce, J. Johnfon, ami Bancroft. 
The nature and treatment of Emprefma, or internal in¬ 
flammations, have been difeuffed at full, but from too 
many fources to admit of enumeration. With regard to 
inflammation of the ferous membrane, we cannot avoid 
directing the reader’s attention to the extracts from 
Brouffais, Pemberton, Baron, and Laennec. And, as to 
the numerous difeafes of the heart, the labours of Corvi- 
fart, Laennec, and Portal, have mainly affifled our de- 
feriptions. 
Among Dydhetica, or difeafes from general mordid 
habit of body, the difeafe Phthifis, or confumption, is 
enriched by the obfervations of Scot, Beddoes, Southey, 
Mansford, and Duncan, among practical writers; and the 
dill-more valuable ones of Baillie, Bayle, and Laennec, in 
relation to necrotomy. 
The clafs Genetica is compofed of a very compreffed 
analyfis of the whole of Dr. Mansfield Clarke’s excellent 
work “On the Difeafes of Females;” and by various re¬ 
marks from Rowley and others of the old fchool, in which 
thefe difeafes were fo much confidered. 
The genus Hydrops, or dropfy, is deduced from the 
writings of Cullen, Parry, Blackall, Laennec, and Scarpa. 
This difeafe, as it affeds the head under the form of Hy¬ 
drops capitis, is treated of conformably with the opinions 
and obfervations of Yeats, Cheyne, and Golis. 
Ouraccount of Calculous Difeafes is taken from Marcet, 
Henry, Wolladon, Majendie, and Prout. 
The whole defeription of Cutaneous Difeafes is taken 
almod literally from the works of Wiilan and Bateman, 
with the exception of the therapeutical part, which has 
received fome fmall improvements fince the writings of 
thofe accurate and judicious writers. 
Among the more compendious fydems from which we 
have derived aflidance, we have to mention the contem¬ 
porary Cyclopaedia of Dr. Rees, and the Encycloptedia 
Britannica ; the French “ Di£t. des Sciences Medicales;” 
the Medical Didionary of James, and the more recent and 
excellent one of Dr. Parr. 
Ladly, we mud not forget to mention our obligations 
to the Medico-chirurgicaL Review', to the Quarterly 
Journal of Foreign Medicine, the Edinburgh Medical Re¬ 
view, and the London Medical and Phyfical Journal, for 
feveral excellent analyfes, and for fome recent and cu¬ 
rious cafes.
