PREFACE. It gives me great pleasure to record my thanks to the ]\Iemburs of the Staff of the London Hospital for their permission to make such use of their cases as I thought fit for the composition of this Dissertation ; I hope that the treatment of the problems of Cardiac Pathology may be, in some degree, worthy of their approbation. The historical sketch is introduced in conformity with the Statute. My matter is by no means exhausted, and I hope shortly to be able to publish portions of it which bear on the clinical aspect of heart disease. FRED. J. SMITH.
