Excerpt from The Edinburgh New Philosophical Journal: Exhibiting a View of the Progressive Discoveries and Improvements in the Sciences and the Arts; January-April 1830 An intimate acquaintance with the Greek language, and assi duous study of the philosophers and physicians of antiquity, had suggested to him happy explanations of several obscure passages in the Father of Medicine; and it is much to he regret ted that neither his notes, nor those of his auditors, have been found suficientl y ample for the reproduction of this course, at least in its principal articles, as has been done with respect to his course on the study of health.
