Excerpt from First Lines of the Practice of Physic, Vol. 1 of 2: With Practical and Explanatory Notes
IN the firfi place, I apprehend, that, in everv branch of fcience with refpeei to which new fa€ts are daily acquired, and thefe confequently giving occafion to new refleélions, which correéi the principles formerly adopted, it is necef fary, from time to time, to reform and renew the whole fyflem, with all the additions and amendments which it has received and is then capable of. That at prefent this is te quilite with regard to the Science of Medicine, will, I be lieve, readily occur to every perfon who at all thinks for himfelf, and is acquainted with the Syflems which have hi therto prevailed. While, therefore, Iattempt this, Ithink it may be allowable, and upon this occahon even proper, that I Ihould offer fome remarks on the principal Syfiems of Medicine which have of late prevailed in Europe, and that I {hould take notice of the prefent flate of Phylic as it is in fluenced by thefe. Such remarks, I hope, may be offome ufe to thofe who attempt to improve their knowledge by the reading of books.
