Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Letters to a Young Physician Just Entering Upon Practice
It may be said that I have gone into theoretical ques tions, and certainly into the discussion of first principles, such as do not belong to a plain, practical work. There is an instance of this in the letter on nervous diseases. My reply is, that, for practical purposes, I think a disease should be first viewed in its simplest form and in the clearest light; free from extraneous circumstances. This is what I have attempted to bring about in the discussion above referred to, and on some other occasions.
Let me hope that the work may be worthy of your approbation, and that it may be useful to the class of per sons for whom it is designed.
