About this book
William Banting presents Letter on Corpulence, Addressed to the Public as an account of personal experience offered as a stepping-stone to public investigation. The narrator asks readers to consider the narrative patiently and thoughtfully, with forbearance for faults of style or diction and any seeming presumption in publishing. The narrator explains a decision to publish and circulate the pamphlet from an earnest desire to help people afflicted as the narrator had been.
The account says former medical advisers did not dispute the system's propriety, but either did not dare try it on someone of the narrator's age or considered the sacrifice of comfort too great for general adoption.
