    In reviewing Doct. Yates' pamphlet I shall ad- here to the order which he has pursued and select a few prominent passages for critical remarks. Gram- matical errors are of minor importance and too nu- merous to be noticed. They must occur to the ob- servation of every correct reader in almost every page of his publication. As I am collecting materi- als, from authentic sources, not founded on vague rumour, for a correct history and treatment of the Epidemic, I shall therefore render this review as brief as possible. It is merely a temporary caveat to the public to prevent the general diffusion of error. Enough is said to produce conviction of its inaccuracy, while much is reserved for the reader to examine. When the subject is resumed, the base on which Doctor C. C. Yates has erected his im- mense fabric will be so perfectly demolished by au- thentic documents, that not one stone shall be lei't upon another.
