Présentation de l'éditeur

The war in the Crimea was equally rich in its teachings of medical as of military science. The service encountered was not more unforeseen by any one of the allied generals commanding the expedition, than were the consequent diseases and wounds unknown to the greater number of its surgeons. By the former, novel modes and means of attack and defence were then first brought into action with a success which has given them a place in future warfare ;by the latter, the art of healing, as taught in the schools, was tested with a roughness of experimental proof, that forced medicine and surgery into untried resources. A bove all, a field, alike vast and instructive, was offered for the observation of the conditions which materially affect the sanitary state of armies, and, consequently, their belligerent power. And yet, while for avowed purposes of improvement in the profession of arms, the strategic operations of the campaign have been largely discussed in England and France, there have been only vague allusions made in either country to the influence which the health of the troops had in determining the conduct and issue of the war.
