    PREFACE TO THE FOURTH ^EDITION The author regrets that circumstances beyond his con- trol have delayed the re-appearance of the present work beyond the period at which it was called for by the favour- able reception of the last edition. He has endeavoured to take advantage of the numerous investigations which have been carried on during the interval into the several depart- ments of Toxicology in the leading countries of Europe; and has in consequence been led to enlarge the work mate- rially. He trusts it may be allowed him to express his satisfac- tion at finding, that the rapid progress made by Toxicological science during the last eight years, while it has been pro- ductive of many important additions to our knowledge, has nevertheless not rendered any important alterations neces- sary either in the general principles formerly laid down in this work, or in what had been there stated as well ascer- tained general facts.
