First: Those which occur very often in provings, and which have been repeatedly verified in practice; these we may designate as "grand characteristics." Second: Those which occur less often in provings, but which have been frequently verified in practice; these we may designate as "characteristics." Third: Those which come next in order, being important, yet falling short of characteristic expression; and fourth: Those which occur seldom in provings, and which lack clinical verification. All these groups of symptoms find their place in an "Encyclopaedia," while it is usually intended to incorporate the first three groups in manuals and text-books. The present volume, however, only includes the first two, and of these the first group or "grand characteristics" are printed in italics, while the second group are given in ordinary text.
