Excerpt from The North American Medical and Surgical Journal, 1827, Vol. 3 Tun Editors of this Journal feel themselves called upon to express their gratitude, for the very liberal and favourable feeling which has been expressed towards them, by several contemporaneous periodicals. Their thanks are particularly due, in this country, to the Philadelphia Journal of the Me dical and Physical Sciences; in Canada, to the Quebec Me dical Journal; and in France, to the Revue Encyclopedique. The liberality' of the conductors of these works has led them to expressions of commendation, which, while we feel them to be far beyond our desserts, are warmly treasured by us, as incitements to future exertion. Others have paid us the higher compliment of copying a more or less considerable por tion of our reviews or of the Quarterly Summary especially when the articles extracted contained American information. We are highly gratified to find the Journal thus serving to diffuse a knowledge of the useful contributions made to its pages, through a wider sphere than its original circulation.
