Excerpt from Autobiographical Recollections of the Medical Profession The papers comprised in this Volume have already appeared in the pages of the Medical Times and Gazette. At the request of numerous friends and others, I have reproduced them in this form. They have no pretension to literary merit. Written in the few hours that I could occasionally snatch from a laborious practice, I preferred the discursive and gossiping style to that of the more elaborate or ornamental. Many of the chapters in this Volume have reference to a very important and striking epoch in the history of the Profession.
