Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual and Analytical Cyclopaedia of Practical Medicine, Vol. 1 These general principles have formed the basis of a modified work, the first volume of which is now placed before the profession. Instead of presenting the excerpts from the year's literature arranged in order under a general head as before, each disease - including its subdivisions: Etiology, Pathology, Treatment, etc. - is described in extenso, and the new features that the year has brought forth are inserted in their respective places in the text. In this manner the reader is saved all fatiguing study: he has before him what in the older work was left to his memory. The work, when completed, will present all the general diseases described In text-books on practical subjects - medicine, surgery, therapeutics, obstetrics, etc. - and, inserted in their logical order in the text, all the progressive features of value presented during the last decade. This will remove the cause of dissatisfaction caused by the absence of general subjects in the Older work. If the year brings forth nothing new upon any particular disease, the latter will, at least, appear as it was when last studied, whether this be one, two, five, or twenty years before. The general arrangement adopted will make it possible to cover the entire field in six volumes. As may be seen in any medical dictionary, the subjects treated in the first volume represent exactly one-sixth of the whole.
