Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on the Theory and Practice of Physic IN yielding to the wish of the publishers that he would become annotator to the Lectures of Doctor Stokes, and make additions on subjects not included in the course of the distinguished lecturer in the Park Street Medical School, the editor was not unmindful of the responsibility of his task, nor of the comparisons to which his labours would be subjected by critical readers. Mere self-regard would have made him prefer to be the author of a separate work on the Practice of Medicine; in which scope would have been allowed him for various topics necessarily omitted on the present occasion. But he was consoled by the reflexion, that, next to the pleasure of original promulgation of sound precepts Of doctrine and practice by oneself, is that of bearing corroborative testimony to emanations ofthis nature from another person.
