    first have been his Assistant-Editors and fellow-labourers. Without the help which they have afforded him, it would have been impossible for him to have fulfilled the duties which he undertook. He is well aware of the time and labour which their assistance has involved; and he appreciates most fully the marked ability by which it has been characterised. The Editor cannot conclude without a reference to some of those who were his friends and colleagues when this work was commenced, but who have since been taken away by death. He would specially mention the names of Edmund Parkes, Charles Mtjrchison, George Callender, Thomas Bevill Peacock, John Eose Cormack, Lockhart Clarke, Tilbury Fox, Thomas Hayden, Harry Leach, Alexander Silver. The loss of these eminent men, many of them dear and valued friends, and all of them taken too soon from their unfinished labours, is to him a source of personal sorrow. The articles written by them for these pages were in most instances their last contributions to medical literature, and will be valued accordingly.
