    [ ^ ] at Mofcow, the tranflator has efpecially aimed at a full and accurate delineation of the fymptoms. In doing this, he has taken the pains to compare the defcription given by Dr. MertenSy with thofe of two other writers on the fame fubjeft; viz.Orr^^j-and Samdilowkz. Thus he flatters himfelf that all the dif- ferent types and modifications which the plague afTumes ia the Northern parts of Europe, arc here developed in fuch a man- ner, as to enable thofe who have never ittn the diforder, to detect: it on its firft ap- pearance, or in its early progrefs, fhould this country have the misfortune to be vifited by It again.
