Excerpt from The Principles and Practice of Modern SurgeryIT is with feelings of no slight gratification that I have found myself called upon to prepare a fourth edition of the present work for the press, and I have endeavoured, as far as lay in my power, to make it deserving of the extensive circulation it has the good fortune to enjoy.The labour of such a revisal as was necessary to bring this edition up to the present level of surgical knowledge, - short as has been the inter val between it and the preceding edition, - has been very little less than that required for the original composition of the work. It is, as Dr. Johnson observed, very difficult to alter without leaving a blot, and, therefore, wherever extensive alterations have been required, I have thought it best to write the whole passage afresh.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
