Excerpt from The Works of William Hewson, F. R. S

It is true that some Of them might now be displaced by others containing more exact information in the same space; but then historical truth would suffer, and the conscientious inquirer would still be compelled to consult the old copies.

Excerpt from The Works of William Hewson, F. R. S
Although Hewson's merit, as a physiologist, is generally admitted, his writings have been unjustly neglected, and are now so scarce that a complete copy of them is not to be found in the stock of any London bookseller, nor even in some of our best libraries, as that of the British Museum.
Hence a new edition of Mr. Hewson's Works will be both an acceptable present to physiological literature and a just tribute of respect to his memory. His Plates, which have all been carefully engraved on this occasion, will always be interesting. It is true that some of them might now be displaced by others containing more exact information in the same space; but then historical truth would suffer and the conscientious inquirer would still be compelled to consult the old copies.
In the Introduction, an account is given of Hewson's life and writings, with a careful survey of the facts ascertained and opinions held concerning the blood by his predecessors and contemporaries, followed by an estimate of the value of his Inquiries. This course appeared necessary in justice to the old physiologists, and well calculated to afford an interesting and instructive view of the progress of research in a most important subject, about the history of which so much error prevails.
