Excerpt from The Course of Operative Surgery: A Handbook for Practitioners and Students Professor schmieden's name requires no foreword in Britain, still less in America. He was kind enough to hand over the sheets of the Second Edition as they appeared, so that the necessary additions could be made to the first translation. This explains why the German second edition and the English translation thereof are issued almost simultaneously. Dr. Schmieden has inserted a number of points that have rendered the second edition more useful to British and American readers. The surgical tree of knowledge had become too complex. The Berlin surgeon has accordingly pruned it of alternative methods and left only the stem that is common to all countries. He has summed up the essentials. He has refrained from crowding his canvas with details that can be mastered only in the operating theatre.
