Excerpt from Lectures on Principles of Surgery Many valuable books have been published on Principles of Surgery, but some are now out of date, some give undue promi ncnoc to the writers' personal views, some are incomplete as to the subjects discussed, and some are so exhaustive as to be useful only for reference. The author does not expect the present modest volume to be free from criticism. It is simply a series of lectures based on standard authorities and is intended for the use of students and practitioners who desire the most recent views of surgical path ology and have not the time or opportunity to read more ambi tious works. Any merit the book possesses will be found in the order and system of arrangement and in the clearness and brevity of description.

Excerpt from The Principles and Practice of Surgery In revising his work for a second edition, the author has Spared no pains to render it worthy of a continuance of the favor with which it has heretofore been received, by incorporating in it an account of the more important recent observations in Surgical Science, and of such novelties in Surgical Practice as have seemed to him to be really improvements; and by making such changes as have been suggested to him by enlarged personal experience as a Clinical Teacher and Hospital Surgeon.

Excerpt from Principles of Surgery When I published the first edition of this little work, in the year 1788, it was my intention to add one or two volumes more, so as to comprehend a large proportion of the subjects usually treated upon in a course of Chirurgical Lectures. The state of my health did not allow me to accomplish my pur pose at that time; and increasing engagements in business, afterwards, obliged me to defer, from one season to another, the further prosecution of my design. Various reasons, of little moment to the public, have at length determined me to conclude the work, by relinquishing altogether the labour of adding another volume to the principles of surgery. In revising the work, for the edition now presented to the surgical student, I made some alterations, and interspersed sev eral additions, especially on the subject of Scirrhus and Can cer. The chapter on the (edema appears now for the first time. Although many important additions have been made, in the course of a few years, to the Principles of Surgery, and several valuable improvements have been introduced into the operative part - yet a number of diseases still exists, for which we have no adequate remedies, and many Operations continue to disappoint the hopes of the surgeon and the patient. If the prospect of that which remains to be done, after the labours of so many ages, tends to abate hope and to discourage endeavour - yet it should be remembered, that no man can determine the measure of success which may be connected with industrious research and zealous exertion, and that whatever may be the degree of advancement of which surgery is capable, he who endeavours to perfect it, has the satisfaction, at least, of knowing, that he is fulfilling his duty, when his efforts are directed to alleviate the sorrows and diminish the sufferings of mankind.
