Synopsis

Excerpt from A New Medical Dictionary: Containing an Explanation of the Terms in Anatomy, Physiology, Practice of Physic, Materia Medica, Chymistry, Pharmacy, Surgery, Midwifery, and the Various Branches of Natural Philosophy Connected With Medicine

When, therefore, the present editor was solicited to undertake its revision, he thought he could not do a more acceptable office to the public, than almost wholly new model it. With this view he has been careful to collect such information as may render the work generally useful. Particular attention has been paid to the deriva tion of the terms, the anatomical description of the various parts, and the explanation of their functions; the diseases are considered according to the most approved nosological arrangement, and their symptoms and distinctions clearly enumerated: the materia medica and the preparations, especially those which enter the last edition of the London Pharmacopeia, have been amply considered the im provements of modern Chymistry every where introduced, and the terms in Surgery, Midwifery, Medical Botany, and other Branches of Natural Philosophy, as far as connected with Medical Science, have been fully treated. In doing this, the editor has availed himself of the labours of the most eminent Writers on the different branches of medicine, and has made, such extracts, abridgments, translations, and selections, as the extent of the work would admit. It was his original intention to have given to each writer the merit of the par ticular description selected from his-work but having occasion to consult, frequently to abridge, and sometimes to alter various pas sages in works connected with his subject: and finding it difficult, and in many instances impossible to discover the original writer of several articles; and at the same time attended with no particular advantage, he prefers making a general acknowledgment of his obli.
