Contrary to the usual custom the subject of Surgical Bacteriology is introduced in connection with the etiology of inflammation, in which it is an important factor.

Be facilitated by this method of classification. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A System of Operative Surgery, Vol. 1: Founded on the Basis of Anatomy In the study of anatomy and surgery, strong motives are required to investigation and experiment. Our enquiries must still be rendered interesting, and our industry excited, by ingenious theory and speculative views. Without these, our efforts will be languid, and our pursuit of science fu tile and without energy. But the author Of this work must disclaim all these more pleasing methods of investigating his subjects, and keep steadily in his mind the Object he has already professed. Having to deliver a simple and concise system of rules for the actual practice Of surgery, he must keep close to the text, and can never venture to indulge in disquisition but on points the most essential. His wish is, that he may be said to have taken a simple and correct, not an ingenious View Of the practice Of surgery. This work I profess to be original. In writing it, I have not collected my library around me, and consulted books chiefly. But though original in one sense, the student may discover in it no novelties, nor the intelligent surgeon, who holds communication with his fellows Of the profession, find any rules or Observations with which he is not familiar.

Excerpt from A System of Surgery, Vol. 1 The object of this work is to present concisely and with authority an account of the Science of Surgery as it exists at the present day. To deal successfully with a Protean phase of knowledge, which is encumbered by many ancient prejudices and which has been, within recent years, the subject of aggressive activity and the scene of almost revolutionary changes, is a matter of no little difficulty. The names of the Authors who have compiled these volumes will, I believe, afford an assurance that this difficulty has been approached with at least competent equipment, and for their invaluable co-operation it is impossible to express adequate thanks. There has been no attempt to make the work encyclopaedic but every endeavour has been made to render it useful to the Student and Practitioner of Surgery. Those Subjects which are of the greater importance, are those which have been treated with the greater fulness.
