Excerpt from Introductory Lecture to the Course of Clinical Instruction in Surgery, at the Pennsylvania Hospital: Delivered November 1st, 1848 IN commencing any course of instruction, custom has decreed that a little time should be taken up by the teacher in making known his views or opinions on subjects connected with his course, which shall serve as a sort of introduction between his auditors and himself; and in obedience to this custom, in coming before you this day as a teacher of Surgery, I beg to ask your attention to a few brief remarks on the organization of our Hospital and its means of clinical instruction - the nature of the instruction it is proposed to give - the classes of cases which will be most frequently presented to you - together with some desultory observations on operations and operative surgery.
