Excerpt from A Treatise on Food and Diet: With Observation on the Dietetical Regimen His original intention was to have treated the subject in the same full and systematic manner that he has elsewhere done the articles of the Materia Medica; and he had, in fact, begun to collect materials for a work on this plan. But he soon found that the sub jaet was too extensive to be treated in such a way; within, at least, reasonable limits. He was, therefore, compelled to abandon, though with considerable reluctance, his original design, and to substitute for it the present work, in which he has excluded all Natural Historical details; preferring this course to that of giving a mere sketch or epitome of the subject. The present treatise on Diet differs from its predecessors in several particulars, some of which it may not be useless to point out.
