About this book
Dr. J. G. Millingen, an army surgeon who also served as resident physician at the Middlesex county asylum at Hanwell, collected odd cases and strange claims from medical writing for this volume. The second edition of 1839 was revised and enlarged, and it is dedicated to Sir James McGrigor, head of the army medical department. In the preface the author says he reported many remarkable accounts without believing them, to show how experience can mislead and how persuasive theories can do harm. Medical students are the readers he names as likely to profit.
