In this work, also published at London in 1830, Hall's objective was "to apprize the inexperienced of some unexpected phenomena arising from loss of blood, of the remarkable difference in the degree of tolerance or intolerance of loss of blood in different diseases . . . [and establish] a distinction between two classes of morbid affections, that of inflammations, and that of irritations" (Advertisement, p. [v]).
