Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Medical Essay on Drinking I have written in Latin, because the Faculty and Trustees of my alma mater laudably hold out to her alumni, as an inducement to their cultivating an intimate acquaintance with the learned languages, a Premium of Ninety Dollars to the Author of the best Latin Thesis, which should at the same time be conspicuous for the manner, and style in which the subject was treated. I contended for the prize, and they have unanimously thought proper to adjudge it to me. The Records of my college, the Prints of that day and the subjomed Certificate amply testify the assertion. Many of the Trustees and all the Faculty were anxious to see the work published. Wishing to gratify them, my numerous friends, and several Medical Students, who are not acquainted With the Latin, but are desirous to know the contents of this Essay, I resolved to translate the original. Scholars experience the difficulty, the impracticability, and occasional impossibility of infusing the spirit and character of one language into another. I endeavoured, as well as I could, to hold the mirror up to nature. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
