    The writer of the following pages feels that he is so little known in this locality, that his 7iame would add no weight to his publication, and his work must rest on its own merits alo7ie. He is also aware that as a co7nparative stranger—naturally seeking popidarity—he might be suspected of writing to make hunself notorious rather than to refute Dr. Hor7ier, for public advertisement is absolutely necessary to the success of his undertakmg. To obviate this hnpidation he adopts for his title-page a nom-de-plume; bid as he aims 7iot at secrecy, 7ior desires to incur the charges often levelled against anonyinous writers, he appends his initials and address for the mfor7nation of those whom it may concer7i, and begs to subscribe himself J. D. CHIRURGUS. 12, -Mason-Street, June 26th, 1857.
