    If, however, it shall please Providence to frustrate that hope, the author has great satisfaction in leaving* his materials in the hands of a person, deservedly most dear to him, of whom it may be permitted him to assert, that his talents, as well as general and professional knowledge, render him fully competent to the execution of that task. The author thinks it necessary to observe, that his principles are altogether derived from phaenomena or facts, cognizable by the senses, and arranged in their natural order. Conceiving this to be the only mode of in- vestigating, and arriving at truth, lie utterly, and for ever, disclaims all reliance on the neurological systems of pathology hitherto extant. He considers them as founded on principles, which are either visionary or in- applicable, and which lead to practices, tending equally to debase the moral cha- racter of mankind, to produce, or perpetuate, disease, and to discredit the medical profession.
