Excerpt from Lectures on Subjects Connected With Clinical Medicine, Vol. 1 of 2: Comprising Diseases of the Heart
Some years ago, I published a small volume containing lectures which I had given at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, with the view of assisting the studies of those who seek the knowledge of disease at the bedside of the patient I believe they were found useful; and in that persuasion I would have published other lectures with the same object But an enlarged sphere of duty at the hospital and elsewhere engrossed all my time, and impaired my health, and spoiled my good intention.
The duty of physician to a great hospital, unless it can be made easy by indifference to its highest obligations, is incompatible with much care of personal health. Therefore I relinquished my office at St. Bartholomew's, and, with it, some of the best hopes I had of being useful in my generation.
