    *4'*4'4'4'**4f*'$if*4'*4'**4'*4'**'«'4'4f*4'4'*** CONCISE HISTORY, &c. OF 1HE Autumnal Fever y Which prevailed in the Borough of Wilmington, in the Year 1802. With a brief inquiry into the origin and nature of the Disease, in a letter from Dr. John Vaughan to Drs, Currim and Cathrall of Philadelfihi«, Drs. Currie &? Cathrall, Gentlemen, YOUR favor of the 31st of December, accom- panied by your publication on the origin, progress and nature of the fever, which prevailed in Philadelphia and Wilmington, in the autumn of the year 1802, is duly re- ceived. I regret that the imperious nature of the con- tract made with the publisher, previous t© the receipt of my letter of the 6th of December, should have preclud- ed all the collateral facts and inferences respecting the origin and nature of the disease. The abstract published, is but a summary of histori- cal facts, separated from all the relative circumstances, which have influence on the important question of discus- sion ; and, believing the phenomena of the disease and the accompanying states of weather, essential to a fair view of the subject, I submit them to the public, with their original address.
