    published in the' Edinburgh Medical Journal' for December 1865 ; and to the last Lecture have been added the results of an inquiry into the pathological consequences of gall-stones, commenced many years ago, and part of which appeared in a memoir on abdominal fistulas, published in the' Edinburgh Medical Journal' for July and August 1857. To all of the Lectures has been appended a history not only of those cases on which each Lecture was originally founded, but of others which have occurred subsequently and been the subject of clinical remarks in the wards. These histories have been condensed from notes taken at my dictation by my clinical clerks, whose kind and ready assistance I take this oppor- tunity of acknowledging. The records of these cases will, it is believed, be useful to the medical practitioner who meets with others of a like nature, for, as the founder of patho- logical anatomy long ago observed : ' ISTulla est alia pro certo noscendi via, nisi quamplmimas et morborum et dissecti- onum historias, tum aliorum, turn proprias, coUectas habere, et inter se comparare.'—Morgagni, de Sed. et Causis Morbor. Lib. IV. Prooemium. 79 WiJTPOLE Street, Cavendish Squake, W. Ju7ie 1868.
