    PREFACE. single impressions made by particular objects, but to convey the combined eflfect of several—compounded, to use a professional simile, so as to produce a common result. This work, therefore, is the product of my humble efforts to obtain a just notion of the state of medicine in the different coun- tries I have visited; and my hope is, that it may afford some aid to future travellers, and contribute to a just estimate of the com- parative condition of science in the countries alluded to. My views will be found to be based upon facts, and these not lightly gathered either from hearsay or from books. Perhaps I may be excused for alluding to the difficulty of the task, and for confessing that I throw this essay before the public with some timidity. To all those whose attentions and kind offices have aided me in accomplishing the objects of my journey, I take this opportunity of renewing my expressions of regard and gratitude. I will only add that a second visit to London, during the month of May of the present year, has afforded me an opportunity of visiting some new objects of interest, and of correcting my impres- sions of those already observed.
