Excerpt from The First Lines of the Practice of Surgery: Being an Elementary Work for Students, and a Concise Book of Reference for Practitioners; Part I. General Surgical Subjects; Part II. Particular Surgical Subjects As a systematic writer I have assumed the privilege of en riching my own work with the labours of others. This plan is indispensable; for no individual will ever be found who shall give a general account of so extensive a subject as surgery, in the way in which it ought to be given, unless he make fme use of the works of preceding authors. It is quite unnecessary to mention here the various sources from which I have obtained information, as I have taken care, in the subsequent columns, to make honourable mention of every person's name to whom Licel indebted for assistance.
