    Atlas, and form the frontispiece to this translation. Tliree other figures (Figs. 30, 31, and 32) have been copied from the same source, and added to the list of woodcuts. It has been the object of the translator to adhere as closely as possible to the original text, so far as this was compatible with readable English. Tiiroughout tlie work, the measurements and weights adopted by the author have been retained; but their equivalents in English measurements and weights have everywhere been added within brackets. A similar plan has been followed in cases where the size of objects is compared to that of Prussian coins. Notes have been appended to the various tables of weights and measurements, showing how these may readily be reduced to their corresponding Enghsh equivalents. A few other short notes have been added, giving an account of the composition and pro- perties of the German Spas, and of various preparations of the Prussian Pharmacopoeia, and also explaining several matters referred to in the work, with which few Enghsh readers can be expected to be familiar. It has been thought that, by these notes of expla- nation, the practical utility of the work might be enhanced. 79, WiMPOLE Street, W., June, 1860. h2
