Opis: The Influence of Tropical Climates European Constitutions, Including Practical Observations on the Nature and Treat Treatment of the Diseases of Europeans on Their Return From Tropical Climates (Classic Reprint) - Martin James Ranald

Excerpt from The Influence of Tropical Climates European Constitutions, Including Practical Observations on the Nature and Treat Treatment of the Diseases of Europeans on Their Return From Tropical Climates

When, little more than twelve months ago, I was called upon to prepare anew the work composed by the late Dr. James Johnson and myself, in 1841, on the "Influence of Tropical Climates on European Constitutions," I felt that a mere reprint could not in justice be proposed as a Seventh Edition. Many years had elapsed since Dr. Johnson's original and admirable work on the subject first appeared. The additious in subsequent re-publications consisted chiefly of his able reviews of the labours and researches of other authors on tropical diseases, which appeared in the "Medico-Chirurgical Review." The work thus became in great part a collection of reviews, which, excellent as they were at the time, could not now be made to represent the advancing knowledge of the day.

I have therefore ventured to re-cast and re-write the entire work. Even the introductory chapter is entirely re-written - so much only of Dr. Johnson's observations being retained as appeared to me proper to the subject, and all beyond is exclusively my own composition.

I am well aware of the responsibility I have thus reluctantly assumed. Throughout the present Edition I have adhered to, and preserved the medico-topographic and statistical character of my original Official Reports, which were printed and circulated at the public cost in Bengal, by order of the Supreme Government of India,while I was serving under its orders.
