Présentation de l'éditeur

When the last edition of an exceedingly defective book - Surgical Diseases - became exhausted, my publishers supposed that a new and improved one would be well received, and suggested the revision and re-writing of the work. The errors, inaccuracies, and crudities of the old edition, however, were soon found to be so numerous, that it was impossible to use to advantage any portion of the text, or even to follow the arrangement of the original work. As the work progressed, it was made apparent that to include accidents, and purely mechanical treatment of the morbid processes referred to, would greatly increase the size of the volume, and necessitate a very imperfect discussion of highly important conditions. It was decided, therefore, to complete that volume on a pathological and therapeutical plan, as far as the limits would permit, reserving purely traumatic conditions for a separate treatise. Inasmuch as the change in arrangement would leave something elementary and preparatory desirable, the present volume was prepared.

Considering the present volume, then, as the initial volume of a series on surgical topics, a scheme has been arranged with some reference to an ideal cllegiate course of instruction, embracing four volumes, at least, if not five. That such a division of topics is not artificial, it is only necesary to consider the scope of each volume, and the demand the age makes upon our schools for medical education.
