Excerpt from The Works of William Cullen, M.D., Professor of the Practice of Physic in the University of Edinburgh, Vol. 1 of 2: Containing His Physiology, Nosology, and First Lines of the Practice of Physic; With Numerous Extracts From His Manuscript Papers, and From His Treatise of the Materia Medica
In presenting you with these elementary works in their pre sent form, I am well aware that the science of medicine has made great advances since they were first produced; advances which require corresponding changes in the manner in which this science should now be taught. But I know of no general work on the Practice of Physic, hitherto published in this country, calculated to supersede Dr. Cullen's writings as text books; and certainly. None which can bear a comparison with them in the extent and variety of the medical information which they contain; in the model which they afford of distinct and comprehensive definitions and histories of diseases; and in the talezit which they display for the accurate discrimination and simple generalization of the results of experience.
