Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Venereal Disease Sir Everard's, which was intended as Mr. Hunters third Edition, is by some strange Inadvertence copied from the first instead of the second, and contains no new Matter of Importance. Other Objections the Reader will meet with in the Perusal of the following Commentaries. It is no small Satisfaction to find by the Book sellers, that this Work has at last superseded every other on the Venereal Disease. After this, it may surprise some that it is not universally popular. But how can we expect that to be popular, which must be studied, in order to be understood? "We love" says an ingenious Author, "to stare more than to reflect, and to be indolently amused at our leisure, rather than to commit the smallest Trespass on our Patience by winding through a tedious Maze, which would produce us nothing but Knowledge."
