Illustrated Manual Of Operative Surgery And Surgical Anatomy

Excerpt from Illustrated Manual of Operative Surgery and Surgical Anatomy In presenting to the American Student of Surgery the beautifully illustrated work of MM. Bernard and Huette, the editors flatter themselves that they have contributed to the supply of a want which has not been unfrequently experienced heretofore, viz.: a complete and concise picture of the science and art of Operative Surgery, in its present advanced and perfected condition, in a portable form. The admirable and extensive works of Bourgery and Jacob, and Prof. Velpeau, with the translation of the latter under the auspices of Prof. Mott, and the equally excellent treatise on Operative Surgery by Prof. Pancoast of Philadelphia, can never be replaced by the present work. Yet its compactness and portability will render it more desirable to the student as a companion in the lecture and dissecting room, where its copious and graphic illustrations will assist him materially in acquiring correct general ideas as to the nature and objects of the individual operations of surgery; whilst for more minute and varied details with regard to their history and numerous modifications, the less accessible and more expensive treatises alluded to can be consulted at a more advanced period of study. In fact they are better calculated for works of reference to the practitioner of surgery, than as text books for the student, designed to set forth concisely the elements of the art.
