Excerpt from A Treatise on the Principles and Practice of Physio-Medical Surgery: For the Use of Students and Practitioners These considerations form a sufficient apology for the appearance of the present volume. There was something new to offer - something entirely different from the established Opinions and practices of surgeons and of sufficient importance to deserve a careful consideration. The labor of presenting these views was undertaken for the purpose of furnishing a guide to the student and practitioner, at the same time that the practical value of the tenets is respectfully offered for the con sideration of the more erudite in the profession. As no book can supply a surgeon with mechanical skill, the descriptions of the several Operations have been intentionally limited; and as unsettled questions are never helped to a solution by dogmatic pedantry, it has been deemed better and more just to confess a want of light where it was felt than to attempt to establish a theory that had only plausibility to recommend it. The words of other authors have been many times quoted, especially where their clearness and correctness left little to hope for by way of amendment. In all such cases due credit has been given for the selection; and no failure to return honor to whom it was due has been intentionally over looked. Many excellent suggestions have been offered by various friends, especially by Prof. A. Curtis and Dr. Z. Hussey, for which I take pleasure in thus publicly acknowledging my indebtedness - sending forth the volume with a keen sense of its imperfections, but hopefully >intrusting it to the leniency of a generous profession.
