    ADVERTISEMENT, Tue original of the following pages was pub- lifhed at Paris about two years ago. The known abilities of the Author, the merits of the prefent performance, and the conviétion that fuch a work had been long wanted in Medical and Philofo- phical Literature, induced me to attempt its tranflation.—In executing my tafk, I have ftudied to preferve faithfully the fenfe of the Author. I have, however, ventured to corréét a few mif- takes, (relating chiefly to names and titlés) into which he had fallen; and in the Notes fub- joined at the end of the volume, I have contro- _ verted certain pofitions in the text, which feemed to admit of doubt, and illuftrated others, which appeared to require explanation, \ ‘ s A, H.
