    PREFACE. The principal object of tlie present work is to illus- trate some of Hunter's doctrines, which the lapse of time, and the dissemination of more recent views, have obscured or caused to be forgotten. Some of these doctrines require to be modified by the light of more recent investigations ; while others, which have been long neglected, will still serve as landmarks for this and for succeeding generations. Some of Pear- son's views with regard to the treatment of Syphilis, which, in the author's opinion, deserve more attention than they have lately received, are also considered. The chief subjects treated of in the following Lectures, which are not dwelt upon in the systematic works of other English authors of the present day, are, the inoculability of syphilitic blood in its vari- ous forms ; the conditions under which the secretions of primary and secondary syphilitic manifestations may be inoculated naturally or artificially ; the mor- bid processes produced by such inoculations; the modifications of those processes in patients previously syphilitic; primary and secondary syphilitic diseases
