Excerpt from A Text-Book of Operative Dentistry
The editor announces with profound sorrow the loss by death of three contributors since the second edition was issued, Dr. Geo. W. Cook, Ferdinand J. S. Gorgas, and George Edwin Hunt. In each case the authors revised their chapters before their death.
With the careful revision that has been made and the introduction of new matter it is confidently believed that the present edition will be even more acceptable to the profession than the previous ones, the reception of which has been very gratifying to all those concerned in the production of the work.
