Excerpt from The Science and Art of Surgery: Being a Treatise on Surgical Injuries, Diseases, and Operations

IN presenting an American edition of Professor Erichsen's Science and Art of Surgery, the Editor feels that no apology is necessary, Numerous and important as have been the works on this subject issued within the last few years, still, the Profession in this country cannot fail to welcome the production of a man of Mr. Erichsen's position and experience, fortified as it is by the strongly-expressed approbation of the English medical press.

For many years the author has been Professor of Surgery in Univer sity College, and Surgeon to its hospital, having under his charge the wards once graced by Liston. The present volume bears witness that he has not only improved the opportunities thus afl'orded of acquiring great surgical knowledge and experience, but that he has also labored earnestly in the departments of his science closely allied to Physiology. He has thus brought to bear not only his great practical acquirements, but also an intimate acquaintance with all the physiological and patho logical doctrines of the day. A work like this, combining the Science and the Art of Surgery, the Editor therefore feels assured, cannot fail to prove a most useful book of reference to the practitioner; while its extreme beauty and clearness of style must render it valuable as a text book for the student.

In a treatise so recently issued, the Editor has of course found but little to add or correct, except those views and operations which belong essentially to American surgery. These will be found distinguished from the text by brackets. Numerous additional illustrations have been intro duced, which he hopes may increase the value of the work, without adding materially to its bulk.
