Originally published in 1821. EXCERPT FROM A Treatise on the Anatomy and Physiology of the Mucous Membranes

THE TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE.

The works of no medical writer deserve a more attentive perusal than those of the illustrious BICHAT. Erudite, observant, and industrious, he, at an early age, reared a monument of science, which will perpetuate his name and matchless talents. From the rich treasures he has left, the Translator presumes to present this Treatise in an English costume. Where all is excellent it is difficult to make a satisfactory selection; yet this portion of the author's productions merits the particular attention of medical students and practitioners in general, as it leads to the knowledge of the structure and economy of that part of the animal organization, which, more than any other, is subject to morbid affections.

The aim of the Translator has been faithfulness, clearness, and conciseness, rather than elegance: how he has fulfilled his intention he must leave to the decision of the candid Reader.
