Book excerpt: Excerpt from Demonstrations of Diseases in the Chest, and Their Physical Diagnosis Seeing, from year to year, that these difficulties are felt more or less by every student of. Medicine, I have been anxious to place a similar means Of overcoming them within the reach Of all, free from the cost of time and labour at which the advantage was procured for myself. My original drawings were but roughly made in the hurry of a student's life - they have therefore been cast aside, and their plan, only, retained in this work, the plates of which are taken-from fresh specimens of disease, and have been executed by a skilful and practised artist. In the pages which treat of acoustics, I have attempted to collect, in a simple and intelligent form, the principles upon which the physical diagnosis of disease within the chest is based, freely illustrating them with examples, in order more closely to connect the theories of the science with the practice of the art. The succeeding chapters are principally occupied with dissertations on the plates, and directions for educating the organs of sense to appreciate the physical signs of disease. My endeavour has been throughout to produce a short, simple, and strictly practical work, which should, if pos sible, omit nothing absolutely essential to a fundamental knowledge of the subject, and yet contain nothing that could safely be omitted. I must confess, however, that the difficulties I have encountered on my way leave me no hope of having kept this happy middle course without digressions on one side or the, Other. When I have ventured to make definite statements on subjects fairly open to discussion, I trust to be acquitted of presumption, on the grounds that these subjects could not be left unnoticed, while the Objects and limits of my book precluded the introduction of lengthy arguments.
