    [THIRD EDITION.] A new edition of this Treatise having been called for, the Author, after so long an interval, considers the fol¬ lowing statement to be necessary :— First. The views regarding Assimilation contained in former editions of this Treatise; as well as the Patho¬ logy of assimilation founded on these views, and pub¬ lished in the authors Inquiry into the nature and treat¬ ment of Stomach and Renal Diseases, have been very generally adopted by Physiologists. Professor Liebig and M. Dumas in particular now advocate views essentially the same ; their slight difference not affecting the general principles originally proposed in the Bridgewater Treatise. Secondly. The molecular arrangements before in¬ troduced into the text, have, in the present edition, been stated more briefly in the Appendix.
