American edition has rendered a new one necessary. This has allowed of certain alterations and additions in accordance with the progress of modem surgery, and a slight increase in the number of the pages has been compulsory. The sections on Gall-S tones and Diseases of the Pancreas have been entirely rewritten. To those of my critics who complain that there is no originality in this work, I would again point out that its aim is to aid students in preparing for examinations, and that object would be defeated if views other than those generally accepted were put forward in such a ,book. To the gentle critic who fails to see why this book has been written I convey my most humble apologies, but my excuse is that there are so many who, fortunate or otherwise in not possessing his hypercritical sense, have found the book useful to them. So I have ventured to offend him again instead of withdrawing into a rightly abashed obscurity. JOSEPH CUNNING. Upper Wimpole Street, W., anuaryi 1908.
