Excerpt from A System of Surgery, Vol. 1 of 3: Translated From the German, and Accompanied With Additional Notes and Observations

My first object in undertaking this task was to render Surgeons in this country more conversant with foreign practice than they had hitherto been. French Surgery, with its showy, but sometimes too hazardous operations, had indeed been pretty well known among us ever since the peace of 1815, soon after which, medical students, with other British visiters, ﬂocked in crowds to the French capital. But of the Surgery of the German Schools very little had been known in England until within the last few years, no standard German book having appeared in English since the publication of heister's valuable work a century ago.
