    ceeding ages, those who are most deserving of renown have been most forward to proclaim the fame of Hippocrates. Moralists and Politicians have borrowed enlarged views and liberal principles from his writings. The Philosophers who direct their attention to the processes of the understand- ing have admired the sure method, and the operations of a mind fully acquainted both with the limits of its powers, and the extent of its means, and the happy art of placing him- self in a true light for observing the different objects of his researches, for classing the observations according to their natural order, and for combining them with general principles ; that is for drawing conclusions which express their rela- tions and connections. The legislator has given the authority of law to his opinions, in all questions with respect to which the Physiologist must direct the decision of the Magistrate.
