Excerpt from System of Clinical Medicine: With Notes and a Series of Lectures
Since the last edition of Dr. Graves's lectures was published in this city, a new one, considerably enlarged, has been published by Dr. Graves, in Europe: from this edition the present one is printed. It contains the whole of the lectures, which make a very large volume; but some detached papers which were not printed in the former editions, and were first published in the present one, are not reprinted. These essays the publishers will probably issue in a separate form. The demand for a new edition is the best proof of the high character these lectures have gained in the United States, and of the very extended reputation they have justly attained.
The additional lectures, which, at the request of the publishers, were appended to the last edition of the work, have been revised, and some new matter on the subject of Typhus Fever has been added. The lectures were originally delivered as a part of a clinical course, or rather of several clinical courses, at the Philadelphia Hospital, most of them were printed in a medical journal some years since, but they were for the first time published in a collective form in the last edition of Dr. Graves's lectures. The only important subject on which the editor differs from Dr. Graves, is that of typhus fever. This has been, for some years, a contested point between the English and French physicians; in reality, however, the difference of opinion has arisen from one simple fact. The typhus fever of England and Ireland was unknown in France, at least at Paris, where the continued fever has been for many years confined to typhoid fever; the same had been the case for many years in this country until in the year 1836, when we had a disease similar to the genuine typhus fever of the British islands.
