    A LETTER, ADDRESSED TO DR JOHNSON, V;!/ I fllil l v 01 fils ■ ' ft | :■ ' I • ; EDITOR OF THE LONDON MEDICO CHIRURGICAL REVIEW; DR HAMILTON, PROFESSOR OF MEDICINE, MIDWIFERY, &C., IN THE UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH. Sir,—It was only on the 26th of October that I saw the number of your Medico Chirur- gical Review for July, which contains a critique on the First Part of my Practical Observations. Had that article appeared in an anonymous publication I should certainly have paid no at- vj %i; V r. ;i v !f f ,s '<[ i o m- , , tention to it, but coming out under the sanc¬ tion of your respectable name, I fear that cer¬ tain observations, dispersed through the re¬ view, may mislead inexperienced practitioners, and impair my usefulness to the public, and to the profession, which is the great object I have had in view in the publication. I feel myself, therefore, called upon to address you on the subject.
