    work were first made known in this country ; it was at your earnest recommendation and request that I undertook the translation of it; it was by your precept and example that I was led to practice the new methods of diagnosis therein detailed : it is to you, therefore, in a great measure, that the profes- sion is indebted for any benefits, however slight, that may have resulted from my humble labours. But you have a claim to this address, of more weight with me than your professional talents and character, however distinguished, and the acknow- ledgment of which, I flatter myself, will be more acceptable to you than any homage I could offer on public grounds—I mean, the friendship with which you have favoured me for so many years, and to which I am so much indebted.
