The original suggestion that Hahnemann sO rganon was worthy of a place in Everyman sL ibrary came from the late Mr. James Speirs, and was supported by theB ritish Homoeopathic A ssociation, of whose Council Mr. Speirs was a member. Mr. J. M. Dent looked favourably on the proposal, but was naturally anxious to make clear that theO rganon is put forward here as a piece of history rather than as a contribution to polemics. For this reason the original edition of 1810 was selected for presentation, as it both constitutes a landmark in medical history and is less controversial than the later editions. The name of Robert Dudgeon is inevitably bound up with the rendering of Hahnemann sworks into English, but inasmuch as Dr. Dudgeon worked from the latest and fullest edition, another translator had to be sought for this, the original edition. The association of Dr. Dudgeon with Hahnemann is maintained, however, in Part Hof this volume, for the translations of the essays contained therein are from his pen.
