Excerpt from Hom?opathy: Its Tenets and Tendencies, Theoretical, Theological, and Therapeutic
The present Edition of these observations on Hom?opathy is so greatly increased beyond the last as almost to form a new work. Several of the foot-notes in the Second Edition have in this been extended and enlarged into separate chapters; and various questions, formerly omitted for want of space, are now duly discussed. Let me add, that in stating the different tenets of Hom?opathy, I have, with the desire of avoiding error, usually given them as far as possible in Hahnemann's own words, or in those of his leading disciples.
A great part of the following pages was written and printed last summer. I mention this circumstance in order to account for what might otherwise appear as inaccuracies in some of the printed dates; as in those to be found, for example, in the chapter on the Magnetoscope. More important avocations repeatedly intervened to stop entirely for a time the progress of the essay. And, indeed, I can only hope that the intermitting and desultory way in which the whole has been necessarily written amidst the pressure of other duties, will be accepted by my professional brethren as some excuse for the defects and repetitions which they may have occasion to observe in the execution of it.
In the Preface to the last Edition, I made the following statement, namely, that - "I at one time intended to leave out the letter to Dr. Russell, and the two first pages of the speech, as they referred to personal matters more than to hom?opathy.
