Excerpt from A Doctor's Table Talk
IN consigning this little book to a kind and ingenuous public, I make one emphatic protest: the fictitious persons here described do not repre sent actual individuals. Dr. Primrose, Dr. Ely, Dr. James, Dr. F laxman, Dr. Consequence, Scho lasticus, Scriba, and the rest have no true proto types. They are composite studies. There is one exception: Dr. Optimus (chapter V!) is that remark able man, Dr. Edward Fitch Cushing, of Cleve land, and my very dear friend, now dead.
Actual public and historical characters are not disguised, but are truly named in the text.
