Présentation de l'éditeur
UitTST fm JlfO AUTHOE SPREEACE ENGLISH EDITION. It was with great pleasure that I acceded to the request of the Council of the New Sydenham Society, communicated to me by their courteous Secretary, Mr. Hutchinson, that I would allow my work on Diseases of the Skm (which forms part of Yirchows Handbuch der speciellen Pathologie und Therapie )to be translated into the Enghsh language. Of the comp Umeut paid to me by the Society in making this request I am the more sensible, because Enghsh literature is already by no means poor in treatises upon cutaneous affections. Thus, although, during the last century, this branch of medical science was cultivated with zeal both in Germany and Jrance, it was England, the country of Willan and Bateman, w TiicET took the largest share in what may be termed the Beformation of Dermatology. In fact, not only all later English writers on diseases of the skin, but also those of every other country, have made use of the Classification of Willan in arranging the subdivisions of their own systems, or, indeed, have even adopted this Classification without modification. Within the last few years, in particular, several English physicians have pursued the study of cutaneous affections, and have succeeded in adding very considerably to the general fund of knowledge in this department of medicine. A mong these I must mention especially my talented friend Mr. Erasmus Wilson, as well as Dr. Anthony Todd Thomson and Dr. T. Mc Call A nderson.
