Book Description

Excerpt from The Lectures of Boyer Upon Diseases of the Bones, Vol. 1 of 2: Arranged Into a Systematic Treatise The celebrity of the authors of this Treatise entitles it to a considerable share of attention. Boyer, a distinguished professor of surgical pathology, and an eminent practitioner of surgery, who is the principal author, would have contented himself with delivering the substance of it in his public Lectures, had not some of his pupils attempted to publish from their notes a spurious edition of the work. These copyists presented Boyer's doctrine in so mutilated a form, that it was found necessary to give a genuine edition of the Lectures to the public.
