A System of Surgery, Vol. 1 Of 2


Book Description

Excerpt from A System of Surgery, Vol. 1 of 2: Pathological, Diagnostic, Therapeutic, and Operative The Object Of this work, as set forth in the first edition, issued in 1859, is to furnish a systematic and comprehensive treatise On the art and science Of surgery, considered in the broadest sense; one that shall serve the prac titioner as a faithful and available guide in his daily routine Of duty. My aim has been to embrace the whole domain Of surgery, and to allot to every subject its legitimate claim to notice in the great family of external diseases and accidents. If a larger space than is customary has been devoted to the consideration Of inflammation and its results, or the great principles Of sur gery, it is because of the conviction, grounded upon long and close Observa tion, that there are no subjects so little understood by the general practitioner. Special attention has also been bestowed upon the discrimination Of diseases; and an elaborate chapter has been introduced on general diagnosis.

A System of Surgery, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from A System of Surgery, Vol. 1 The object of this work is to present concisely and with authority an account of the Science of Surgery as it exists at the present day. To deal successfully with a Protean phase of knowledge, which is encumbered by many ancient prejudices and which has been, within recent years, the subject of aggressive activity and the scene of almost revolutionary changes, is a matter of no little difficulty. The names of the Authors who have compiled these volumes will, I believe, afford an assurance that this difficulty has been approached with at least competent equipment, and for their invaluable co-operation it is impossible to express adequate thanks. There has been no attempt to make the work encyclopaedic but every endeavour has been made to render it useful to the Student and Practitioner of Surgery. Those Subjects which are of the greater importance, are those which have been treated with the greater fulness.

Institutes and Practice of Surgery, Vol. 1 of 2


Book Description

Excerpt from Institutes and Practice of Surgery, Vol. 1 of 2: Being Outlines of a Course of Lectures The additions to the present and last editions are considerable, and will be found important, I trust, and apposite. If I have apparently overlooked, however, in some instances, the claims of surgeons whose general merits are acknowledged by the profession, the omission must be imputed not to illiberality, or inadvertence but to the difficulty of introducing into an elementary work of this description matter which properly belongs to a comprehensive system of surgery. I have thought it necessary, moreover, to alter the arrangement of the work by transposing parts of the second volume to the first, and by changing, entirely, the order of subjects in the second volume. This has been done for the purpose of making the surgical course in the University, correspond with the anatomical lectures, so that the account of surgical diseases may follow, immediately, the anatomy of the parts. Upon the whole, I am persuaded - that the work, deficient, as it still may be, in some respects, will be found enhanced in value, and that the present edition - the seventh - cannot fail to prove acceptable to the student, espe cially as valuable new matter has been added, and new plates introduced - inde pendently of the work having been gotten up by the new publishers, Messrs. Kay and Brother, in a very superior style. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
