Preface
to the first edition
The very

first translation of Samuel Hannemann,s Organon of Medicine was in French. lt was made, from the Original German 2nd Edition, by Ernst von Brunnow in 1g24. But an English translation of the Organon appeared only in 1g33. It was made by Charles H. Devrient Esq, with notes by
4th German Edition:

Samuel Stratten, M.D., from the original

The second English translation was made by R. E. Dudgeon, M.D., from the original German 5th Edirion of the book. lt

eppeared in 1849, 6 years after Hahnemann's

death. The

third English translation, also from the same original German Sth Edition, was made by C. Wesselhoeft, M, D., in 1ggO. And the last one, fronn the original german manuscripts'by

Hahnemann and meant to be the 6th Edition, appeared as late as in 1921. lt was translated by Wm. Boericke. M. D.
Before this, there also appeared at leasr 14 English ,Editiorts',

both British and American, but they were all reprints of

either of the lst three original to english translations.

Beginning from the lst to the last, the translators have preferred, it seems, to keep the non-english terms, phrases and sentences, even paragraphs, used and/or quoted by

It remained for ttie humble author, therefore, first to wonder at, then to enquire about them, and lastly to endeavour either to get them translated or to translate them himself. It is true, it has taken many years, beginning from early

labours undertaken.

The Obstacles, in the shape of all the non-english texts, being removed, which has been the principal aim of the work, tho Organon is now more homogeneous from the beginning to the end and therefore, more comprehensible
both to the students and the teachers. lt is possible, consider-

ing the subject matter and the nature of the work, that some errors have crept in. The author would, therefore, entertain

and appreciate thankfully points for rectification, if any ; also suggestions for any improvement of the book ; since, the whole matter concerns with each and every person, directly or indirectly in contact with not only the Homoeopathic System of Medicine, but the very Science and.Art of
Medicine. To each one of them, who have eagerly lent

their helping

hands to complete the work, the author remains grateful and thankful personally, and on behalf of the whole
Homoeopathic profession.

And to Dr. Phil. Heinz Mueller an{ to Mr. p. Jos Duschl, who do not belong to Homoeopathy, not even to medicine, but are mainly responsible to translate the Greek and Latin texts respectively. And to the teachers and studen8 whose moral support has stimulated the author to bring out this booklet rather earlier.

Preface
To the Second edition Richard Haeht had already published the 6th Original german edition of the 'Organon' in 1920, with an intro_ duction to it, before Wm. Boericke could bring out the english version of the 6th edition in 1921. Boericke trans_
lated only those portions which were new in the 6th edition, and thd remaining porion was left same as in Dudgeon,s

translation of the 5th edition.

(j

6th edition also in the french language, remains untraced. Haehl's introduction, in german, to the 6th edition remains not yet translated. pierre Schmidt's translation of the 6th edition into french language is not yet available in lndia upto date. The homoeopathic
Hahnemann's original profession

is

requested

to

procure the above, as soon as

possible, for our own interests.

This second edition is so much enlarged and revised, that it is almost a new book. lt also contains the transliteration of the greek texts, which is presented to you for the
first time by any one ever. lnspite of the cares taken, it may so be, that the book contains errors. The reader is requested to point out the
errors,

if

any, please.
