Excerpt from The Half-Yearly Abstract of the Medical Sciences, Vol. 1: Being a Practical and Analytical Digest of the Contents of the Principal British and Continental Medical Works Published in the Preceding Six Months, January-June, 1845A few words as to the plan which has been adopted may not be out of place. The usual productions of the medical press are of two kinds, the one, simply practical, the other, though not in so direct a manner applicable to practice, such as is nevertheless necessary for the formation of those principles of treatment, without which, the hand that exhibits a medicine or wields an instrument, is as guilty of gambling as if it held a dice-box. It has been the Editor's endeavour, while he includes both species of information, to give a prominent place to that which is directly available at the bedside, for which reason, he has devoted to it a large portion of the work. The Reports, which form the concluding part of each volume, are intended to comprise a survey of communications and works of the second kind, and at the same time to point out the practical bearing of each.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
