    PREFACE. Lead Poisoning is so widely met with, thar I need scarcely apologise for the appearance of this monograph. Almost in the form in which these Lectures were delivered in the Eoyal College of Physicians, they are now presented to the medical profession. I take this opportunity of acknowledging my indebtedness to my Colleagues—the Physicians of the Eoyal Infirmary, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, for their generosity in allowing me to utilise their cases—also to the Surgeons to the Lead Works, for the cases they sent me, and to I\Ir Foster, Manager of the Ouseburn Lead Works, for the many opportunities he afforded me of 1:)eing present at the medical examination of lead workers. To Dr Sims Woodhead I am also indebted for the revision of my microscopical preparations, and to Dr Baigent for many of the drawings wliicli are reproduced in the book. THOMAS OLIVEE. Xewcastle-vpon-Tyne, July 1891.
