Excerpt from Elements of Therapeutics and Materia Medica, Vol. 1: To Which Are Prefixed Two Discourses on the History and Improvement of the Materia Medica, Originally Delivered as Introductory Lectures Ivith an undiminished regard to public Opinion, and a still livelier sense of the patronage it has receiv ed, I have, in preparing this third edition of my work, endeavoured its improvement as far as my leisure would allow, and I trust not inefl'ectually. Much of it has been re-written, the text generally revised, and no inconsiderable portion of new matter added. De spising an ostentatious display of obsolete or common place learning, the common refuge of ignorance or dul ness, I have sought' not idly to parade the opinions of others, but to give to those, for whose instruction it 'is chiefly intended, the result of my own Observations and experience, derived from an extensive practice, both public and private, of more than twenty years. The pedant or impostor, who'wishes to thumb over a rosary of names, only valued because not familiar, or to make a pompous display of learned references and citations, that have no useful bearing, may, without labour, ao quire his lesson from the Apparatus Medicaminum of Murray - a work, which has been covertly invaded, and despoiled, by several of the late erudite writers on the materia medica.
