Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Treatise on the Venereal Disease
Mr. Hunter found himself so frequently ill understood, that at last he was prevailed on to believe there must be some incapacity about him In the use of common language. That he was totally unacquainted with those ornaments in writing or speaking which serve to illustrate a subject, or to awaken the attention, cannot be questioned; but his language was always as perspicuous as might be expected from the clearness of his conceptions. This language, however, was not popular; and, I believe, if we except his posthumous works, he offered nothing to the world, till it had been revised by his friends.
