    exercise this amount of discretion, and now, after six months' con- tinuous application, has before him the manuscript for the proposed volume, and with the date near at hand when this is to be delivered to the Publishers, seats himself at his desk to write a Preface, with the consciousness that more time, more labor, more ability, and a more ample experience would have enabled him to make a much better book, but convinced, nevertheless, that the present volume will be found to contain much valuable information not elsewhere accessible to American readers, and that the very considerable portion of the work printed in small type, at least, will be appreciated. Several of the authors most freely quoted—Colin, Morehead, Fayrer, and Ber- enger Feraud—have had an extended experience in intensely malarious regions—Italy, India, Algeria, the West Coast of Africa, etc.—and are recognized as among the highest recent authorities upon the subject. By drawing largely upon their experience the writer trusts that he has succeeded to some extent in complying with the wishes of the Publishers, and in making a book which will be of practical value to general practitioners.
