Excerpt from Hand-Book of Surgical Operations

Tms hand-book of Surgical Operations has been prepared at the suggestion of several professional friends, who early entered the medical staff of the Volunteer Army. It was alleged that the military surgeon of this country had no small and convenient work suitable for a pocket companion, containing the details of the more common as well as the important operations in sur gery. He must either encumber himself with the large treatises on general and operative surgery, or rely upon his unaided memory in the emergencies of the service.

In its scope the work is limited to those branches of Operative surgery which are of the most importance to the military sur geon. This was deemed advisable, in order to render the volume as convenient and portable as possible. Within these limits the constant effort has been to embrace the greatest number of sub jeeta, to arrange them in the best form for reference, and to give the largest amount of practical details, anatomical and Opera tive.
