Excerpt from Lectures on Fever: Delivered in the Theatre of the Meath Hospital and County of Dublin Infirmary IT seems fitting I should mention that the following Lectures, the delivery of which has been spread over a considerable period of time, were not given in any regular sequence, so as to form a continued or systematic course. On the contrary, most of them were delivered at irregular intervals, and all as extemporary discourses. In one remark able instance, this has led to the repetition of a very peculiar case of internal abscess in convalescence from Fever with icterus. As stated in the text, I was at first inclined to regard the liver as the primary. Seat of the abscess; but at page 149 I have given reasons for concluding that the lesion was originally in the spleen. Several years intervened between the delivery of the first, and that of the second, lecture in which the case is mentioned.
