NOTE.
Clergymen and Doctors are so frequently associated, in connection with
the most pleasant and the most grave necessities and occurrences of
actual life, that if any apology is needed for uniting them on the
present occasion, it is only because the abundant fund of anecdote and
interest relating to both professions can therefore be drawn upon to
the smaller extent. In this, as in the other volumes of this little
series, the only plan followed has been that of striving to be brief
and interesting in each selection or summary. Much of the charm and
value of a collection of this kind consists in the large admixture of
personal incident, and liberal display of individual character--which
the nature and duties of the clerical and medical professions render so
easy. But it has also been sought to present, not of course in order or
in complete series, a number of such curious facts as throw a
side-light at once on professional and social history; and it is
confidently hoped that thus the collection will not only amuse, but
inform.
