    those places which I have not visited, as well as the tables of analysis, have been taken from the most approved authorities- Of these 1 may mention Dr. Osann's Darstellung der bekannten Heilquellen Europas, as the work to which I am most indebted. Thinking it would render the book more generally useful, I have ap- pended a brief notice of some English mineral springs, in order to compare them with some Continental ones; and as my knowledge of their composition was very limited, I have availed myself of the work of Sir C. Scudamore, and of Dr. Thomp- son's article on Mineral Waters in the Cyclopgedia of Practical Medicine, to obtain the most correct information respecting them. EDWIN LEE. Cheltenham, Sept. 1836.
