A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The American Editor of the present volume can claim but little participation in the merits of it beyond what is due to an early appreciation of the excellencies of Mr. Druitt sbook, and an earnest and successful effort to procure its republication. Upon a thorough examination of it with a view to this undertaking, it appeared that its author had been so eminently successful in collecting and arranging whatever could be introduced into such a work with advantage, as to forbid any aspirations for the honors of authorship to a revising Editor, even in the humble offices of annotation and commentary, and he engaged in the enterprise, ambitious only to be instrumental in introducing to his profession in this country, and especially in theW est, the best compend of the principles and practice of surgery extant. The only work of the kind to be compared with it, is the admirable Dictionary of Mr. Samuel Cooper, and though a high compliment, it is not an undeserved one to this volume, to say that, in view of its final purpose and uses, it is,,in many respects, entitled to a preference. Mr. Cooper sdisquisitions historical and speculative on various subjects, though always learned, ingenious and interesting, are frequently too elaborate and discursive for a book of practical reference, and the substance of them may generally be found given in brief and comprehensive paragraphs, by Mr. Druitt, and accompanied by such ample bibliographical references as will enable the surgical student to prosecute his inquiries under the light of all the best guides and authorities which the science can supply. The systematic and methodical arrangement of topics in one volume, while it may be a little less convenient in a manual for the practitioner, than the alphabetical order of theD ictionary, nevertheless contributes essentially to its excellencies as a text-hook for the student.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
