Book Description

Excerpt from Manual of Operative Surgery: Based on Normal and Pathological Anatomy During twelve months' study in the schools and hospitals of Paris, in which the original is used as the standard work by students of all nations, the translator was able to appreciate its great value, not only as a companion and guide in the dissecting and operating theatres, but also as a complete book of reference for all that relates to operative surgery. Whilst in France, and since his return, he has heard many of his professional acquaintance regret their inability to read it satisfactorily in the original; and believing that, notwithstanding the admirable treatises which have appeared during the last few years, there is still room for so comprehensive a book, he has, after obtaining the sanction of the author, determined to bring it more immediately within the reach of the British Surgeon.
