DOMESTIC MEDICINE - Contents AMERICANREVOLUTION.ORG Webmasters note It had been my original intent to begin this feature with an exposition of the historical significance of Dr. Buchan's book, but then I happily learned that task had already been done by a latter day colleague of his, by means of a webpage at Harvard Medical School. That page may be accessed via the link section at the bottom of this page. I chose the 2nd edition (1785) of the work to digitize, rather than the 1st edition (1769) for two reasons. The second edition not only contains all of the wisdom and knowledge of the first, but also represents the freshest advices coming to the attention of the Faculty during the years of the North American rebellion. Additionally, as Buchan himself notes, an entire chapter, one dealing with a delicate subject, was deliberately omitted from the earlier work. As you go through the work, you'll note mention of terms (e.g., "seton") that the good doctor apparently felt his 18th c. readers were familiar enough with that they needed no explanation. Fortunately for we denizens of the 21st century, we may repair at will to the On-Line Medical Dictionary, without doubt the finest of its kind on the Internet, a link to which will also be found at the end of this page. DOMESTIC MEDICINE TO Sir JOSEPH BANKS, Bart. PRESIDENT OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY. SIR, THE DOMESTIC MEDICINE having been honoured, on its first appearance, with the patronage of your learned and worthy Predecessor the late Sir JOHN PRINGLE, I beg leave, in a more improved state, to dedicate it to you, as a small, but sincere, testimony of that veneration and esteem with which I have long beheld the Man who, born to ease and affluence, had resolution to encounter the dangers of unknown seas and distant climes, in pursuit of useful Science; and whose constant object has been to render that Science subservient to the happiness and civilization of Society. I have the honour to be, with great respect, SIR, Your most obedient servant, London, Nov. 10, 1785 W. BUCHAN. CONTENTS. FOREWORD. PREFACE. INTRODUCTION. PART I Of the General Causes of Diseases.
