Book Description
Excerpt from Manual of Pathology: Including Bacteriology, the Technic of Postmortems, and Methods of Pathologic Research During the winter of 1894 and 1895, Messrs. P. Blakiston, O Son 8: Co. Published, in serial form, abstracts of the writer's lectures entitled Lectures on Pathology. At the close of the college session, the fasciculi were bound and the resulting volume placed on the market. Very much to the surprise of the publishers, as well as -oi the writer, the edition lasted less than nine months.' It was exhausted at a time when the teaching of the college year precluded the revision which the matter so much needed. During the past six months the entire book has been revised, the larger part having been en tirely re-written. The first edition contained 250 pages and 51 illustrations the present volume, in the face of every effort to condense without sacrificing accuracy, has reached 638 pages arid contains 268 illustrations. The most difficult prob lem has been to keep the volume from assuming undesired dimensions, and, now that the work is completed, the writer wishes to say, parenthetically, that a volume of twice the size could have been produced with probably less labor. Being practically a new book, there are, no doubt, typographic and grammatic errors. The writer acknowledges in advance his appreciation of any communication calling his attention to such lapses.
