Excerpt from A Dictionary of Practical Surgery, Vol. 1 of 2: Comprehending All the Most Interesting Improvements, From the Earliest Times Down to the Present Period; An Account of the Instruments and Remedies Employed in Surgery; The Etymology and Signification of the Principal Terms
As the work is stereotyped, it will be necessary in future editions to enlarge the appendix, which can be done to any desirable extent, and the Dictionary may thus keep pace with the steady advancement of surgical knowledge in this and other countries. For the purpose of supplying any omissions which may have been inadvertently made, it is intended at first to publish but a small edition, sufficient to supply the present demand, and any communications from American surgeons will receive respectful notice in a future edition, by being included in the appendix at the close of the second volume. Such communications are respectfully solicited, and may be forwarded to the editor without delay.
