This book has gained immense popularity among different homoeopathic colleges for both the U.G. and PG, courses.

I am greatful to Mr Raju Shah of The National Book Depot for his suggestion and final printing of this book.

I am grateful to the printer Mr. Viren Shah. Mr. Sanjay Shah for helping me with this book with regard to typing, corrections and proof reading. Lastly, I cannot forget to thank my family members for their encouragement and support. The blessings of my dear departed father and sister will contribute in making this book a great success.

I claim no originality as it is a compilation from different sources by people who have contributed either through articles, letters, publications or through websites, whether their names are mentioned or not, living or otherwise.

I am confident that the fourth edition of this book will be appreciated by both teachers and students of homoeopathy. I am open to comments and suggestions from the homoeopathic fraternity.

Dr. A.T. Jagose and Dr. (Mrs.) H. K. Parmar's attempt to get a homoeopathic learner to perceive the world and work of homoeopathy is worth appreciating, both in words and at heart. I congratulate them in bringing out a novel historical book.
