Excerpt from Lectures on the Progress of Anatomy and Surgery During the Present Century The first six of these Lectures were delivered in the month of June 1864, and the rest in the same month of 1865, at the Royal College of Surgeons of England. They were published soon after in "The Lancet;" and by the polite and liberal permission of the proprietors of that journal, the original woodcuts have been placed at my disposal for the illustration of these pages. The subjects with which they profess to deal are so large in their scope, that twelve lectures of an hour's length each were by no means sufficient for the intention. Other engagements prevented me going more extensively onwards; and, as was professed at the time, I restricted myself chiefly to matters and departments in which I could speak with the confidence of personal experience.
