Book Description

Excerpt from A Treatise on Oral Deformities: As a Branch of Mechanical Surgery This work was begun ten years since, and in its substantial features was ready for the press some time ago; publication was deferred in order to make the whole more scientifically complete, but I realize that it is useless to wait until a reversal of opinion on some topics is rendered impossible. In the mean time, I have revised and rewritten the whole, and have endeavored to make it the embodiment of the latest knowledge upon the different subjects treated. Since the act was passed by the New York Legislature in 1868 creating a Board of Censors, I have been the member of that Board upon whom devolved the duty of examining dentists upon these branches.
