"Having thus obtained a highly interesting series of drawings exhibiting the effects of the most ordinary irritants on the mucous membranes, I determined to send them to the press, in the belief that such a publication would not only prove interesting to those who like myself were engaged in lecturing, and to the general Pathologist, but useful to those members of the profession resident in the country who can meet few opportunities of witnessing such injuries and who may occasionally be called upon to give evidence in criminal cases. The plates are taken partly from the effects of poisons on man and partly from their effects on animals" (Preface, pp. v-vi).
