Excerpt from A Commentary on the Diseases of India

This Commentary is an outcome of a study of Indian disease maintained for thirty-eight years, upwards of twenty-four of which were mainly devoted to clinical observation in Bengal. The chapters, up to the end of that on the 'diseases of the Respiratory System, ' originally appeared in the Medical Times and Gazette, ' between January 4, 1879, and December This portion of the work has now been carefully revised, wholly recast, and, to a considerable extent, pruned and extended.

In publishing this volume I bring to an end a course of observation, thought, and study, which has occupied the whole of a professional lifetime.
