    I have taken great pains to make myself master of all important physiological facts, and to reason cor- rectly from them; to give every author the credit of originality which he deserves; and to be accurate in my references. But after all I may frequently have failed. If my inaccuracies cannot be excused on the ground of the number and diversity of the points examined, or my almost constant occupation with another branch of medicine, both as a lecturer and a public and private practitioner, I can only assure my. readers that the detection of any failure in reasoning or inaccuracy of statement will be gratefully received, and that my highest object and happiness are the ac- quisition and dissemination of truth.
