Sinopsis

Excerpt from New Elements of Operative Surgery, Vol. 1 of 3

There was wanted a work which should embrace all the general axioms, precepts, and facts of Operative Surgery and of Surgical Anatomy, absolutely essential to an elementary treatise, and systematized and arranged upon some natural and well defined principles, which should be in perfect concordance with the known laws and structure of the human organization.

Such a work is that of M. Velpeau, as contrasted with all others.

In this work the author has shown how requisite it is that in every book on a vast scientific subject like that of Operative Surgery, the whole fabric should be constructed and sustained upon some approved philosophical plan, conformable to the received axioms of anatomy, physiology, and pathology, and the different parts or subdivisions of which should grow out of, or be developed, one from the other, so that the entire edifice should form a perfect whole In itself; while all the details should be in such necessary connection, harmony, and proportion with each other, that as in the study of the living human organization itself, each one should in some sort be an exponent or co-relative of all the rest.

We conceive that M. Velpeau has happily and fully attained this desideratum and that but very little is wanting to make his work one of such standard value that no public school or 'university in medicine, audho individual practitioner or student, can hereafter possibly dispense with it.
