About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from The Art and Science of Surgery

The position I have held for the last twenty years as a teacher of anatomy and surgery has placed me under obligations to numerous friends who have frequently requested me to pre pare a work on the principles and practice of surgery; and hav ing been induced to engage in the labor, I found it more and more captivating as progress in the undertaking was made. When my manuscript and illustrations were nearly completed, a fire swept away the toil of years; but not discouraged by the seemingly un toward event, I undertook at once to reproduce what had been lost; and I have obtained so much additional experience, and have acquired so many maturer views upon important chirurgical topics, that my readers may have been the gainers. I begin to congratulate myself upon what I once considered a misfortune.
