Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reprint of Two Tracts: 1, an Essay on Gleets; 2, an Enquiry Into the Nature, Cause, and Cure of a Singular Disease of the Eyes The two tracts here reprinted were written in English by Jean Paul Marat during his residence in Church Street, Soho, where he practised as a Physician. Both of the tracts are exceedingly rare. Speaking of the former one, Mr. Morse Stephens, in his article on "Marat" in the Encyclopaedia Britannica, says, "no copy is to be found." Since the date of Mr. Stephens's notice of Marat a copy has come to light, and is now in the possession of Dr. J. F. Payne. Of the latter tract there is only one known copy: this is in the Library of the Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society of London. I have to thank the Council of the Society and Dr. Payne for their kindness in allowing copies of the pamphlets to be made for the purpose of publication. The first tract is dedicated to the Worshipful Company of Surgeons in London, and is dated November 1775.
