    PRBPAOE. The majority of Sir William GulFs lectures on Comparative Anatomy, Physiology, and Clinical Medicine were delivered from notes only, which accounts for the fact that there is no written record of that part of his teaching which occupied so large a portion of his early life. A Report on the Morbid Anatomy, Pathology, and Treat- ment of Epidemic Cholera has not been reprinted, as it is included in the Reports on Epidemic Cholera issued by the Royal College of Physicians. The Addresses will be issued in a subsequent volume together with a Biographical Memoir. Some difficulty has been encountered in reproducing the plates, especially those illustrating the paper On Changes in the Spinal Cord and its Vessels in Arterio-Capiliary Fibrosis. The original drawings had been lost, but were discovered in time to correct the proofs of the reproductions. Owing to the efforts of Mr. Newman a satisfactory i-esult has been obtained. Thanks are due to Mr. Coldrey, late Assistant Librarian to the Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society for much valuable help, to the editors of various publications for permission to reprint the several papers, and to those whose liberality has made it possible to issue the present volume in a form which it is hoped is not unworthy of the great physician and teacher whose life's work it represents. T. D. ACLAND. March Uth, 1894.
