    ee : PREFACE. Tne following pages were originally intended as an Introduction to some views on the Prin- ciples of Medicine, considered in relation to the modified type of temperament produced by the increasing proportion of the nervous element in the organization of individuals, who are fair re- presentatives of the high civilization of modern times ; but as these introductory pages may be said to contain within themselves a subject of philosophic interest, to the Historian and States- man, as well as to the Physician, it has been thought advisable to publish them in a separate form, with the intention, at some subsequent period, of carrying out the more medical part of the work to the extent of the original design. Paris, August, 1839.
