Preface

to the first edition

The very first translation of Samuel Hannemann,s Organonof Medicine was in French. lt was made, from the Original

German 2nd Edition, by Ernst von Brunnow in 1g24. But anEnglish translation of the Organon appeared only in 1g33.

It was made by Charles H. Devrient Esq, with notes bySamuel Stratten, M.D., from the original 4th German Edition:The second English translation was made by R. E. Dudgeon,

M.D., from the original German 5th Edirion of the book. lteppeared 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'byHahnemann 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 ofeither of the lst three original to english translations.

Beginning from the lst to the last, the translators havepreferred, it seems, to keep the non-english terms, phrases

and sentences, even paragraphs, used and/or quoted by

Hahnemann throughout the book, as we find them today.They are in Latin, Greek. German and French. A very fewof them have, although, been translated here and there and

at different times by d$erent aurhors but mostly they

bave remained untranslated. And this, when accor<Jing toJames Krauss, M.D., 'Whatever Hahnemann ever wrote, is ofhistoric medical interest'. I

It remained for ttie humble author, therefore, first to wonderat, then to enquire about them, and lastly to endeavoureither to get them translated or to translate them himself.It is true, it has taken many years, beginning from earlyForties to late Sixties, twentyfive years to be precise, to have '.

completed the work, yet these are the fruits, at last. oi thelabours undertaken.

The Obstacles, in the shape of all the non-english texts,being removed, which has been the principal aim of thework, 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 Homoeo-pathic System of Medicine, but the very Science and.Art ofMedicine.

To each one of them, who have eagerly lent their helpinghands to complete the work, the author remains gratefuland thankful personally, and on behalf of the wholeHomoeopathic 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 Latintexts respectively.

And to the teachers and studen8 whose moral support hasstimulated the author to bring out this booklet rather earlier.

Preface

To the Second editionRichard 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 theenglish 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,stranslation of the 5th edition.

Hahnemann's original 6th edition also in the frenchlanguage, remains untraced. Haehl's introduction, ingerman, to the 6th edition remains not yet translated. pierre

Schmidt's translation of the 6th edition into french languageis not yet available in lndia upto date. The homoeopathicprofession is requested to procure the above, as soon aspossible, for our own interests.

This second edition is so much enlarged and revised,

that it is almost a new book. lt also contains the translite-ration of the greek texts, which is presented to you for thefirst 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.
