As many of the medical opinions contained and defended in this work are widely different from those which you profess, and have long laboured to established, you will, perhaps, be surprised to see your name prefixed to the dedication of this volume. But in looking through the United States for the physician who has most distinguished himself by his talents, his acquirements, his literary and professional labours; in whom are most conspicuously united the eminent practitioner, the accomplished scholar, the advocate of virtue and religion, the friend of man, and of his country, the Editors are induced, with one accord, to tender to you this testimony of their respect; to which they add their fervent wishes for the continuance of your exemplary and useful life.

THE EDITORS.
