The fact that a well-printed edition of this notable story has not been in print either in England or America since its original publication in 1841 is a sufficient reason for the present edition. It includes the valuable notes in which the author elucidated the "many legal topics contained in the work, enabling the non-professional reader to understand more easily the somewhat complex and elaborate plot of the story." Of the story itself it is hardly necessary to speak. Always deservedly popular, it has been widely read for nearly fifty years in England and America, has been translated into French and German, and has only required to be presented in a pleasing form, with readable type and good paper, to insure it the circulation which it deserves. Boston, 1889

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Passages From the Diary of a Late Physician: With Notes and Illustrations by the EditorSpeak to her; I felt almost choked. At last her continued ex pressions of tenderness and sympathy soothed me into a more equable frame of mind, and we returned to dinner. In the after noon, I offered it to another bookseller, who, John Trot like, told me at once he never did that sort of thing. I offered it sabse quently to every medical bookseller I could find - with like success. One fat fellow snuffled out, If he might make so bold, he would advise me to leave off book-making, and stick to my practice; an other assured me he had got two similar works then in the press; and the lastl consulted, told me I was too young, he thought, to have seen enough of practice for writing a book of that nature, as his words were. Publish it on your own account, love, said my wife. That, however, was out of the question, whatever might be the merits of the work - for I had no funds and a kind-hearted bookseller, to whom I mentioned the project, assured me that, if I went to press, my work would fall from it still-born. When I re turned home from making this last attempt, I flung myself into a chair by the fireside, opposite my wife, without speaking. There was an anxious smile of sweet solicitude in her face. My agitated and mortified air convinced her that I was finally disappointed, and that six months' hard labour were thrown away. In a fit of uncontrollable pique and passion, I flung the manuscript on the fire; but Emily suddenly snatched it from the flames, gazed on me with a look such as none but a fond and devoted wife could give threw her arms round my neck, and kissed me back to calmness, if not happiness. I laid the manuscript in question on a shelf in my study; and it was my first and last attempt at medical book making.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
