    I have the pleasure to acknowledge many liberal and handsome testimonies to its value from individuals of great and deserved emi- nence in the profession ; and the public con- firmation of these, I take the liberty to infer from the rapid sale of the work, which has been out of print for many months—but a circumstance which has afforded me the sm- cerest gratification, is the appearance, during the last year, of a spirited and faithful trans- lation of it into the Italian language by a physician of Pisa, whose name I would gladly announce had his modesty permitted me to do so. To Dr. T. I. Todd, of Nice, I beg thus publicly to express my obligations for his spontaneous recommendation of the original to the notice of so able and intelligent a translator. To the latter gentleman I offer my congratulations upon the public approval of his translation, evinced, as I am informed, by a very ready sale. JVerc Broad Street, April 15, 1824.
