Excerpt from The Influence of Climate, and Other Agents, on the Human Constitution, With Reference to the Causes and Prevention of Disease, Among Seamen: With Observations on Fever in General, and an Account of the Epidemic Fever of Jamaica
IN submitting the following observations to the Public, it may not be super¿uous to explain the circumstances under which they were originally drawn up, and the object for which they were intended. When in charge of the Naval Hospital at Jamaica, a circular order was issued, directing the Principal Medical Officers of the Naval Hospitals, at Portsmouth and Plymouth, to deliver, during the summer months, a course of Lectures to the Medical Officers serving in the ships of-war in Port, and in the Hospitals. As it was expected that a similar order would be extended to the Foreign Hospitals, it was considered prudent to make prepara tions for the contemplated new duty, and avoid being taken by surprise. I was further induced to undertake this task, from advices I received through a private channel, that there was every probability of my being removed to England, to undertake the duties of Lecturer at one of the Naval Hospitals.
