Excerpt from The Principles and Practice of Surgery
In revising his work for a second edition, the author has Spared no pains to render it worthy of a continuance of the favor with which it has heretofore been received, by incorporating in it an account of the more important recent observations in Surgical Science, and of such novelties in Surgical Practice as have seemed to him to be really improvements; and by making such changes as have been suggested to him by enlarged personal experience as a Clinical Teacher and Hospital Surgeon.
