    PREFACE. The following Essay is based upon a com- munication read before the Medical Society of London very recently. It appeared to me that a review of the various systems of classification might be useful to the Profession, and I have therefore tabulated, in a comprehensive and concise form, the various schemes of authority, and appended an arrangement, suggested by a careful analysis of all that is at present known in dermatological matters. I feel very strongly that the attempt to overthrow the anatomical arrange- ment of skin diseases is premature, and that a vast deal of confusion is likely to ensue, in consequence of the acceptance of opinions which are not as yet warranted by clinical observation. I trust this Essay will place the reader in possession of the important points and novelties of recent research. 15, Old Cavendish Street, W. March, 1864.
