Essentials of Boger's Principles and Practice of Homoeopathy delineates the Principles of Homoeopathy, Philosophy, Materia Medica, and Therapeutics as well as Repertory therefore, it would be essentially beneficial to all the learners of the rational art of healing. These 66 'piece of gems' on homoeopathy in lecture form are being placed as an assembled jewel in a book form which are made out of very precious pearls found lying at different places. It is expected that these pearls will not only add to the wealth of Homoeopathy but also it would render a deeper understanding of the principles and would thus revolutionize the practice of Homoeopathy.

Prof. Dr Shashi Kant Tiwari, author of Essentials of Repertorization, Boenninghausen-Boger Final General Repertory and various other books had a great enthusiastic and inquisitive search regarding Boger's methods of prescribing. After going through several writing of Boger, he has selected some of 66 lessons which are essential for knowing Boger's principles of prescribing. Having served Homoeopathy in various capacity like Director, National Institute of Homoeopathy (Govt. of India); Principal, Fr Muller Homoeopathic Medical College Mangalore; Dean of Education, DLN Homoeopathy Medical Education and Research Winnipeg Canada and also being teacher and examiner for 40 years of Degree and Post Graduate courses as well as in Certificate course for Veterinary Homoeopathy, Dr Tiwari has a vast knowledge and experience in the subject of Repertory especially regarding the Boger's Principles and Practice. A few of these related to Boger have been compiled in this precious book.

Essentials of Boger's Principle and Practice of Homoeopathy is a 'collection' to 'connect' the scattered valuable concepts deliberated by Boger which delineates the principles and the methodology of rational and successful clinical practice of Homoeopathy. These were lying unattended in the form of lectures, presentations, discussions with contemporary stalwarts and practitioners, case analysis and prescriptions by Boger at various time and circumstances at different platforms. This missionary work was accomplished through a thorough and intense search and compilation of all the useful literatures pertaining to Homoeopathy education and practice of the period of Boger (1890-1935). Only those articles which are found to be very meaningful and necessary for the students and practitioners are included in this book.

In fact, after the rise of Kent's philosophy in Homoeopathic education and practice, the principles of prescribing advocated by Boenninghausen and Boger took a back stage and were shadowed because of brightness and influential methodology of Kent. But since the old method was true and very practical for the students and practitioners, it survived the glare. Boger creditably resuscitated and strengthened the methodology which was a little different from Kent but was closer to Hahnemann and Boenninghausen. We must remember that Boger was a voracious reader of Homoeopathic literature and was a man who believed in verifying the principles through practice before advocating it.
