By this means, the peculiarities of my practice here have passed silently into the world, unexplained and unsupported by the proofs and illustrations which it was in my power to produce; they have been par- tially noticed in one periodical publication; and made the subject of hasty and mistaken criticism in another. Dreading, therefore, that under these disadvantageous circumstances the practice might be prejudged, and of course neglected, I have endeavoured to procure for it a fair and unprejudiced hearing, by placing it before the public, in my own words. To the public decision I will submit, with deference and respect; at the same time, I rely with confidence on its impartiality; and trust, that no person of cha- racter will condemn the practice, which I now recom- mend, till after repeated trials, agreeably to the plan which I have myself observed. Edinburgh, \st Nov. 1805.
