Excerpt from The Student's Book of Cutaneous Medicine and Diseases of the Skin IN publishing a student's book OF cutaneous medicine and diseases OF the skin, we believe that we are supplying a want in Medical Literature. Great Britain has many scientific treatises devoted to the subject some original, the greater part founded on the works of the French or of the Germans; and an abundance of translations from foreign authors but we have no elementary book that the Student can call his own no Class-book; no book founded on british cutaneous medicine, that is, upon Cutaneous Diseases such as they occur in this country, and exist amongst us at the present day, and treated upon principles which long experience has shown to be the best suited to the instincts and peculiarities of the British mode of thought, and of the British medical constitution. We have endeavoured to produce such a book, and we have taken as the groundwork of our teachings, the experience of many years conscientiously devoted to the discovery of the soundest views of the subject, and the soundest principles.
