OF

THE PARIS EDITOR.

'' was the intention of the author to have made some important additions to the first part of this new edition. Certain Articles now offered with modifications, would have appeared more complete, and been enriched with several new views: the reader would have found in it a Treatise on Beauty, considered physiologically. In a second volume, these physiological principles would have been applied to Medicine; and the same order which has now been pursued, in considering the functions in their healthy state, would have been adopted to consider them also in a state of disease. The death of the author has deprived the public of these advantages, and compels us again to offer the work in its original state. We conceived it due however, to the memory of citizen, to make known those intentions, the fulfilment of which he had already commenced.''
