Excerpt from The Principles and Practice of Surgery, Vol. 3: Founded on the Most Extensive Hospital and Private Practice, During a Period of Nearly Fifty Years, With Numerous Plates Illustrative Both of Healthy and Diseased Structure Events, over which mortals have no control, must plead as an apology for the delay of this Third Volume of our work. In January, 1841, circumstances of a private domestic nature occurred in the publisher's family, which materially retarded its progress, and on February 12th, 1841, the following month, we had the melancholy task to record the loss of our illustrious author, Sir Astley Cooper, in the 73rd year of his age, as deeply lamented as he was universally respected, leaving a space in the surgical world that will not be soon replaced - to his friends and relatives never. A brief memoir of his public life may not be unacceptable to the reader, which I have extracted from the address of his eminent cotemporary Sir Benj. Brodie, at a meeting of the Royal Medical and Surgical Society, soon after his demise. Sir Benjamin thus proceeds: - "There were none present who would not know that he alluded to the late Sir Astley Cooper, whose loss would not only be felt among his own immediate friends, but throughout society in general. "Sir Astley had long occupied a distinguished station, and while he (Sir B. Brodie) was yet a student, had attained to great notice and distinction, and he advanced in reputation to the last, for although very much for many years in general practice, he never ceased to work for the good of the profession, and always with new claims to its respect and gratitude.
