Excerpt from Some Effects Climate of Italy
Tms small volume contains the substance of a short course of lectures, written during the leisure of an involuntary holiday, delivered a few weeks since in the theatre of St. Mary's Hospital, and reported in the Lancet.' I rejoice,in,the oppor tunity which publication affords of thus again acknowledging my debt of gratitude for the sweet influences of Italian skies, by revising the whole and making it somewhat easier reading. To this end I have broken up the lectures and re-arranged them into subjects, filling up gaps with a little fresh matter.
