Riassunto

Excerpt from Lectures on the Morbid Anatomy of the Serous and Mucous Membranes, Vol. 2 of 2

So long a period of time has elapsed since the publication of the First Volume of these Lectures, that some explana tion seems called for, on now bringing out the Second. Two causes have produced this delay. A portion of the present volume was already in the press, when a serious interruption to my health arrested its progress. This sus pension was quickly followed by my unexpected separation from the Institution in which my Lectures had been deli vered: and this circumstance not merely removed one of the inducements to publication, but deprived me of many of the materials which I had collected, and on which I relied for consultation in the completion of the work. The major part of the Lectures had indeed been written out at length; but in each Lecture there were spaces, in filling up which, I had been accustomed to depend on the Prepara tions, as texts. These spaces I have now had to complete from other sources, with the aid of a brief manuscript sylla bus, which I had preserved. The circumstance to which I have alluded, likewise prevents the illustration of the Lectures by so complete a reference to Preparations in the Museum/as I designed in my original plan: but I hope to make some compensation for this omission, by refe rence to other Collections, which I have been allowed to inspect.

In the 'course of the preparation of this volume, various important points have come to my knowledge; partly in consequence of the progress of Science, and the publication of new works and partly from other sources, which, though previously existing, had not been fully consulted. Some of these materials have been introduced, with due notice, in the course of these Lectures: but with regard to other points, I reserve them for appended Notes, ivhich I intend to publish in a third volume, which will be required by the remaining Lectures on the Mucous Membranes.

The termination of the Small Intestines appears to offer a suitable point at which the subject may be arrested. In order to complete the series of twelve articles, I have given, as the concluding one, a short Paper, not originally de signed for a Lecture,-yet calculated to facilitate the compre hensmn of some of the views advanced in the eleventh.
