Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Seven Books of Paulus Ægineta, Vol. 3 of 3: Translated From the Greek With a Commentary Embracing a Complete View of the Knowledge, Published by the Greeks, Romans, and Arabians on All Subjects Connected With Medicine and Surgery
And now, having brought my laborious undertaking to a conclusion, I would embrace the present Opportunity of re turning my most sincere expression of thanks to the Council for the honour which they conferred upon me in selecting my work for publication, and for the very ?attering terms in which they speak of the first volume in the Annual Report of their proceedings for 1845. I trust that whatever degree of merit they discovered in it will be found not to be wanting in the succeeding parts, and that, taken together, the three volumes will be acknowledged to constitute a more Copious repertory of ancient Opinions on professional subjects than is to be found elsewhere. If such be the judgment which the intelligent members of the Sydenham Society shall generally pronounce on my work, I shall certainly never regret the time and exertions which I have bestowed upon it.
