Introduction
THE Volume, now offered to the junior Members of the Medical Profession, was written with .a view to supply what has appeared to the Author a desideratum; viz.—a work which shall present, in a concise form, the subjects best deserving attention in the prosecution of their studies.
From defect of system, Students spend a great portion of their time unprofitably ; perplexing themselves with individual parts, without considering the relation those parts bear to each other. The usual routine of professional study, consists in reading a System of Anatomy; next a System of Physiology ; then one of Medicine; and, finally, of Surgery. This mode of proceeding cannot be correct. To retain knowledge, obtained in this way, requires stronger powers of memory than most men possess; and if retained, for want of connection, aud easy comparison, it ‘can scarcely be considered an advantageous acquirement.
