Excerpt from American Journal of the Medical Sciences, Vol. 78: July, 1879 In the last edition of his work on Surgical Pathology, Professor Bill roth states that the subdivisions, made according to the histological peculiarities of the various sarcomata, are of no great value during life but being convinced, from personal observation, that clinical differences exist among the divisions of sarcoma as marked as are met with among the varieties of carcinoma, I have ventured to differ from so distinguished an investigator, and have studied these growths, as all morbid processes should be studied, with the view of determining the relations subsisting between their minute structure and their clinical characters. To attain this end I have carefully analyzed one hundred and sixty-five cases, many of which are original, and the number might have been very materially increased had I included examples of mixed sarcomas. I have limited my investigations, however, to those cases alone in which the histological features of each form of sarcoma were typical, and I have used none, except a few of osteoid sarcoma, about the true nature of which there could be no doubt, that were not confirmed by microscopical examination.
