Author's Preface to the New American Edition. 



" The favorable reception with which the ' Science and Art of Surgery' has been honored by the 

 Surgical Profession in the United States of America has been not only a source of deep gratifica- 

 tion and of just pride to me, but has laid the foundation of many professional friendships that 

 are amongst the agreeable and valued recollections of my life. 



"I have endeavored to make the present edition of this work more deserving than its predecessors 

 of the favor that has been accorded to them. In consequence of delays that have unavoidably 

 occurred in the publication of the Sixth British Edition, time has been afforded to me to add to this 

 one several paragraphs which I trust will be found to increase the practical value of the work." 

 LONDON, Oct. 1S72. 



On no former edition of this work has the author bestowed more pains to render it a complete and 

 satisfactory exposition of British Surgery in its modern aspects. Every portion has been sedu- 

 lously revised, and a large number of new illustrations have been introduced. In addition to the 

 materinl thus added to the English edition, the author has furnished for the American edition such 

 material as has accumulated since the passage of the sheets through the press in London, so that 

 the work as now presented to the American profession, contains his latest views and experience. 



The increase in the size of the work has seemed to render necessary its division into two vol- 

 umes. Great care has been exercised in its typographical execution, and it is confidently pre- 

 sented as in every respect worthy to maintain the high reputation which has rendered it a stand- 

 ard authority on this department of medical science.
