PREFACE
TO THE FOURTH EDITION.

The author regrets that circumstances beyond his controlhave delayed the re-appearance of the present workbeyond the period at which it was called for by the favourablereception of the last edition. He has endeavoured totake advantage of the numerous investigations which havebeen carried on during the interval into the several departmentsof Toxicology in the leading countries of Europe;and has in consequence been led to enlarge the work materially.

He trusts it may be allowed him to express his satisfactionat finding, that the rapid progress made by Toxicologicalscience during the last eight years, while it has been productiveof many important additions to our knowledge, hasnevertheless not rendered any important alterations necessaryeither in the general principles formerly laid down inthis work, or in what had been there stated as well ascertainedgeneral facts.
