    viii PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. The introductory chapter has been devoted to a discussion of the best mode of studying skin diseases, with a view to obtaining an accurate knowledge of their nature and affinities. In the second chapter, I have pointed out the value, of the so-called elemen- tary lesions in their bearing on diagnosis. In almost all cases the sketches of the different skin affections are derived from my own practice and observation, but at the same time I have not failed to avail my- self of the writings of others, when they have seemed to me sufficiently concise for the purpose I had in view.
