Synopsis

Excerpt from Cellular Pathology as Based Upon Physiological and Pathological Histology: Twenty Lectures Delivered in the Pathological Institute of Berlin During the Months of February, March and April, 1858

The lectures, which I here publish with the View of accomplishing this double purpose, have found such very patient auditors, that they may perhaps venture to hope for indulgent readers likewise. How greatly they stand in need of indulgence, I myself feel very strongly. Every kind of lecture can only satisfy the actual hearers; and especially when it is chiefly intended to serve as an explanation of drawings on a board, and microscopical preparations, it must necessarily appear heterogeneous and defective to the reader. When the intention is to give a concise view of a comprehensive subject, it necessarily becomes impossible to bring forward all the arguments that could be advanced, and to support them by the requisite quo tations. In lectures such as these too the personal views of the lee turer may seem to be brought forward with undue exclusiveness, but as it is his bus1ness to give a clear exposition of the actual state of the science of which he treats, he is obliged to define with precision the principles, the correctness of which he has proved by his own experience.
