Excerpt from The Early History of Surgery in Great Britain, Its Organization and Development Nor were the methods and aims of ancient writers so absurd as the casual reader may imagine. Their quaint phraseology and the absurd theories they put forward to explain their facts, and indeed our habit of selecting ludicrous passages for quota tion, are apt to blind us to their work and meaning, and to the identity of their aims with ours in a given operation, for example.
