Excerpt from Pathological Observations, Vol. 2: On Continued Fever, Ague, Tic Doloreux, Measles, Small-Pox, and Dropsy; Illustrated by Cases Noted in the Year 1828, From Hospital and Private Practice; With a Preliminary Dissertation on the Institute of Medicine; And an Appendix, on the Origin, Preventi
Being fully sensible of the hazardous position of mediator, which I had for some time endeavoured to maintain in the important controversy between the Humoralists and Solidists, I earnestly requested three years ago, in the advertisement to the prefixed Dissertation, to know from the advocates of the rival systems how far they would sanction the principles it asserts, before I should present this subsequent publication, which is little more than an addition of facts, and its practical conclusion. To have known what were the particular tenets received and rejected by each, and why they were so, would have enabled me to proceed in the present case with some degree of certainty and satisfaction. The reviewers of Great Britain, however, have not been pleased to express their opinions, and I have therefore been obliged to take those criticisms which I have privately met with, as the expression of the soloists in the English school. But in Germany, where the pathological principles, which I have adopted, have been always more favourably received, my humble efforts have been noticed; and in a long and able criticism upon the dissertation, by Doctor Steinheim of Altona, he has again established his claim to my warmest thanks.
