Abstract
ON Friday evening, the 26th ult. Mr. B. G. Jenkins, of the Inner Temple, read before the Historical Society a remarkable paper on Cholera, founded on a communication to the Russian Imperial Academy of Sciences, and now under the consideration of the Medical Council of the Minister of the Interior. The author of the paper maintained that no true advance could be made in any science founded on experience, and looking to facts for its development, until the history of that science had been recorded and correctly interpreted; and that it was, because we have been looking at the facts of cholera, which have been accumulating for half a century, as facts without attempting to show, or rather without succeeding in showing, in what relation they stand to each other, that we are really no wiser than we were forty years ago.
