For some time past physicians, both in this country and abroad, have felt the need of a work, or series of works, which should furnish a complete picture of the present state of medical knowledge in the departments of etiology, pathology, and treatment. The ordinary text-books do not supply this want, and the busy practitioner cannot afford to spend either time or money upon the scores of monographs which are constantly being published. A series of treatises, however, written by men who are skilled in the different departments of medicine, and published in such a form as to make, when completed, a compendium of reference, would meet in great measure this demand. Such is the character of the work which has been begun in Germany, and which is now being published in the English language. Most readers, I think, will unite with me in according praise to the different translators of this volume for the satisfactory manner in which they have accomplished their difficult tasks. The differences in the German and American pharmaceutical preparations, and systems of weights and measures, have also offered certain difficulties, to obviate which, and to obtain imiformity. Dr. Edward Curtis, Professor of Materia Medica in the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, has kindly undertaken the supervision of the sections relating to treatment. The carefully prepared index at the end of the volume is the work of Dr. Charles Laight, of this city. A. H. B. New Yoek, October 2Q thj 1874.
