Lectures On The Principles Of Surgery

Excerpt from Lectures on Principles of Surgery Many valuable books have been published on Principles of Surgery, but some are now out of date, some give undue promi ncnoc to the writers' personal views, some are incomplete as to the subjects discussed, and some are so exhaustive as to be useful only for reference. The author does not expect the present modest volume to be free from criticism. It is simply a series of lectures based on standard authorities and is intended for the use of students and practitioners who desire the most recent views of surgical path ology and have not the time or opportunity to read more ambi tious works. Any merit the book possesses will be found in the order and system of arrangement and in the clearness and brevity of description.
