Excerpt from Clinical Lectures on the Principles and Practice of Medicine IN consequence of the rapid exhaustion of a second edition of this work, I have been called upon to prepare a new one much sooner than I could have anticipated. The whole of it, not withstanding, has been most carefully revised, and the volume extended by the addition of fifty pages, with twenty-one new cases and thirty-four new wood-cuts. I have endeavoured throughout, by reference to indisputable facts, to demonstrate the correctness_ of the principles which have guided my prac tice, and have, i therefore, authenticated every case with the name of its reporter in the hospital books. I have availed myself of numerous illustrations engraved on wood, having long been persuaded that mere description 'of morbid appearances, and especially of those that are made visible by means of the microscope, communicates only feeble or imper feet ideas to others. Of these illustrations, such as are borrowed have the names of their authors appended; such as have no name attached are original.

Excerpt from Lectures on the Principles and Practice of Medicine: Delivered in Chicago Medical College, Medical Department of the Northwestern University The lectures comprised in this volume, embrace substantially the course of instruction on the principles and practice of medicine given by me in the Medical Department of the Northwestern University, better known as the Chicago Medical College. My method of lecturing being entirely extempore, the lectures comprising the first half of the volume, under the heads of Principles of Medicine and Acute General Diseases, were origi nally reported by Leander Stone, stenographer; and those comprising the rest of the volume, by James E. Henderson, M. D. All the manuscript has been fully revised, and not' a small portion re-written by me in the midst of so great an amount of other professional and literary work, that it has been impossible to bestow upon it sufficient minuteness of attention to avoid all errors in typography and modes of expression.

Excerpt from Clinical Lectures of the Practice of Medicine, Vol. 1 of 2 With this same object in view, whatever alterations or additions I have myself made, I have incorporated with the text; know ing practically the great inconvenience and distraction of mind to the reader, which editorial notes or matter inserted between brackets produce. Moreover, I have been difi'erently stanced from most other editors, having had all through the zealous co-operation of the author and his approval of the alterations and additions made.

Excerpt from Clinical Lectures on the Practice of Medicine, Vol. 1 of 2 The reader will perceive that I have introduced into this Edition several of the author's essays which were omitted from the first: of these I wish to call especial attention to his observations on two subjects - the Pulse and Cholera. The greater part of the former, which now constitutes the fourth lecture, was originally published in the Dublin Hospital Reports, nearly five and twenty years since, and contains an account of the first accurate experiments which were made as to the effects of posture on the frequency of the pulse; - an inquiry which has been since then carefully investigated by Knox, Guy and others, with the effect of stamping with correctness the original observations of Dr. Graves, and proving their practical value. The subject of the Cholera is just at present an all-important one, when this pestilence is ravaging a great portion of the globe, and those countries which have been once and but once before afflicted with it, are again threatened with a visitation. Shortly after the cessation of the previous epidemic, Dr. Graves read an essay before the College of Physicians on its origin and progress, chiefly with the view of proving its contagious character; this essay which was published at the time, in the Dublin Journal of Medical Science, is now remodelled, and a short history of the present epidemic as far as it had advanced at the time those lectures were going through the press, added. The lectures on Fever which constitute so large and so valuable a portion of the first Volume will be found to be much altered as regards arrangement; and the causes and mode of diffusion of the late epidemic with which this country was visited, have been noticed. Although many years have elapsed since several of the author's views on the physiology, pathology, and treatment of diseases were first published, and the science of medicine has been since extraordinarily advanced by the aid of the Chemist and the Histologist, but few alterations or omissions have been required to adapt them to the present state of knowledge.
