follow, not lead, the steps of science, and endeavour to keep up attention to what is true, rather than to what is new, in medical literature. Some years' experience has now proved that, by selecting a single department, (the analytical,) and cultivating with assiduity the means of improving the said department, we shall effect more, than by aiming at a greater variety of entertainment for the public. And under this conviction, we shall take leave of our readers for the present, promising that no exertions, on our parts, shall be spared in rendering the the ensuing volume more valuable, if possible, than any of its predecessors.
