    The copper-plates, belonging to Dr. Willan’s Treatise, having come into my possession, together with several drawings, prepared for the subsequent Orders, upon which he had not published any thing ; and many original drawings, relative to the whole classification, having also been procured; I propose to publish twelve Fasciculi, containing six plates each, illustrative of all the principal genera and species, described in the Synopsis. The first four Orders, consisting of Pimples, Scales, Rashes, and Blebs or Blains, (Bullae) will be illustrated chiefly by the republication of Dr. Willan’s plates, improved at a considerable expense by the able hands of Mr. Stewart, and tinted with every possible care. The syphilitic eruptions, being a distinct class of diseases, and being, in fact, very insufficiently ascertained or characterized, will be, for the present, omitted; and a few additions, illustrative of other varieties, more immediately belonging to the arrange- ment, will be made. The last four Orders, comprising the Pustular, Vesi- cular, Tubercular, and Macular diseases, will be illustrated by a series of new engravings, executed from the original drawings above mentioned. This collection of drawings is nearly completed, and a few of them already engraved; so that punctuality in the completion of the publication may be confidently promised. 14, Bloomsbury Square, 2Oik December, 1814.
