Excerpt from Manual of Operative Surgery In using this book, I would advise the reader to avail himself as much as possible of the illustrations in the anatomical text books, and by this means to make himself familiar with the exact relations of the structures described in the various operations. I have refrained from introducing a number of anatomical plates for the reason that the reader has already in Quain's and Gray's anatomical text books drawings that cannot be easily excelled, also because T think he will find it more convenient to have the illustrations in a separate book, rather than to have to refer continually to a drawing on a preceding page. I have made outline copies of several of the plates in Braune's large atlas, which I hope will prove useful in illustrating the descriptions of the structures cut through in the amputations and ligatures. In all the amputations and excisions of the limbs, the operation is supposed to be performed on the right side, so that in describing an operation on the left side, some alteration in the description will be obviously necessary. I have omitted to give the requisite details as regards antiseptic treatment, as it would necessitate so much repetition. I have repeated many of the diagrams, several of which represent more than one operation, as I considered that by this repetition, the points in connection with each would be more impressed on the eye than if every diagram represented only one operation.
