Excerpt from Atlas and Essentials of Gynecology This atlas was undertaken with the idea that, although there are many excellent text-books, compendiums, and atlases on gynecology, there is no book which gives the student and physician the material which personal clinical observation should supply. If such a book were purely schematic, it would perhaps meet the requirements of many readers, but the actual state of affairs is not thus properly represented; while, on the other hand, an exact reproduction of anatomical preparations makes the distinction between the essential and incidental conditions difficult. I determined, therefore, to combine the two methods, and in addition to drawings from nature to emphasize any variation from the normal. I have further sought to present the various subjects from as many points of view as possible; that is, to give the etiology, development, secondary complications, termination, or recovery; and have therefore added schematic and partly schematic drawings to the pictures of anatomical specimens.
