Lectures On The Theory & Practice Of Homoeopathy

The following Lectures were delivered at the Hahnemann Hospital during the sessions 1852-3. When you go through these lectures, you will feel that you have been on a journey to meet one century old people and to listen to their reactions and views on revolution in medicine. At the request of several of those who heard them, the author has consented to their publication; and in order to render them more worthy of being presented to his colleagues and those desirous of obtaining a knowledge of the history and developments of Homoeopathy, Dudgeon has carefully revised the original manuscripts and made considerable additions, so as to make them as complete as possible, and bring them up to the date of publication. R. E. Dudgeon has endeavored to lay before the reader everything of interest and importance connected with the progress of Homoeopathy, in a theoretical and practical point of view, which have appeared in the literature of our own and of other countries. Where the author been unable to refer to the original sources, he has availed himself of the abstracts contained in some of the German journals and works on Homeopathy more especially the last work of the late Dr Griesselich whose resumes of the opinions of others are found to be wonderfully correct in almost every case when compared them with the originals.It was through the courtesy of Dr. P. Karishana Chaudhary of Hyderabad that this valuable book was made available to the publisher for preparing the Indian edition.This work may prove of use to the homeopathic student if not by any originality of the views put forward in it, at least by presenting him with tolerably accurate steps in the progressive development of Homeopathy.  The author believes that the English homoeopathist will find in the following pages many things bearing upon the theory and practice of Homoeopathy which will be novel, and to hope interesting to the readers.
