    there may, one day, result some distinct and ex- plicit criteria of this disease; as the faint pencil- ing serves to direct the artist to particular form and subsequent elaboration. In drawing my outline^ I have studiously avoided minutiae 5 and, while endeavouring to discover a principle for the better understanding, and towards a more regularly defined mode of treating Cancer, have refrained from any practical observations which might prejudice the general question, by leading to partial disquisitions. The profile once struck, particular features may be more accurately filled up, and the minor touches may hereafter be more effectively given. Be this tract considered then only as the pro- spectus of a zealous individual, on which every can- did observation it may have the honour to attract will be gratefully adopted, or, at all events, respect- fully considered. North-Audley-Street, 30th June, 1805.
