    BEBICATIDN. To the medical Officers of the British Army. GENTLEMEN, Impressed with a high sense of the importance of the station which you occupy in the military fabric, and impelled by a strong desire of contributing my aid to render the execution of your functions, in that important station, less difficult than it , now is, I have undertaken the adventurous task of exhibiting a systematic plan of medical arrange- ment for the use of armies. It is now finished, and I present it to you as it is,—useful I hope, though not free from imperfections.—I have en- deavoured to explain the principles of the arrange- ment explicitly : in the opinion of some I may, probably, be thought to have expanded the expla- nation too much,—to have detailed the instructions and reasonings, on certain occasions, with irk- some minuteness. If there be error on this head.
