Excerpt from Notes on Medical Matters and Medical Men in London and Paris It was not with any expectation of making a book, that I commenced my Notes on Medical Matters and Medical Men in Europe, which, for more than two years, have oc cupied so much space in the western journal OF med icine and surgery. The letters were written to one of the Editors, and, at first, without any object beyond his personal gratification. They were deemed by him worthy of publication, and forthwith I was enrolled Foreign Core respondent of the Journal. In the midst of engrossing studies, which left me but little leisure, I was induced to continue the correspondence, not more by the evidence afforded me that my contributions were well received, than by the assurance of the working Editor, that they lightened his onerous labors. The correspondence, com menced and continued in this spirit, has, at length, grown into a Volume. As the successive numbers were passing through the press, a few extra sheets were obligingly set apart for the author by the publishers, and these make the volume now presented to the reader. With this expla nation, no apology will be necessary for the style in which it appears. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
