Excerpt from Some Observations Upon Diseases: Chiefly as They Occur in Sicily

In offering the following observations to the public, I am actuated by the same motives which may, in general, be supposed to influence medical writers, by a hope, perhaps illusory, that I have made some remarks which may prove useful to others, and by a desire, neither unnatural nor blameable, to be known as the author of them. I am very sensible, however, that in my own particular case I may have over-rated their importance, and calculated too little upon my ignorance of what has been done by others, or too much upon the good that has been done by myself.
