Reseña del editor:
The author makes no claim to originality in regard to the text-matter of this work other than the manner of its presentation. The substance of the text is largely derived from the writings of Guerini, Koch and Thorpe, supplemented by articles in current dental magazines. Much valuable information has also been furnished by the deans of several dental colleges and the secretaries of dental associations, societies and fraternities. Acknowledgment is made to Col. Robert T. Oliver, Dental Corps, U. S. A rmy; Dr. Otto U. King, Dr. Edward C. Kirk and Dr. Frank J. Stockman for valuable aid. Particular credit is due my good friend Dr. William H. Trueman, of Philadelphia, for his valuable help in revising the manuscript. While a resume of ancient dentistry is included in the first part of this work, it has been prepared with special reference to the advent and development of dentistry in the United States. In this manner the text has been so condensed as to place in the hands of the student and practitioner of dentistry only such facts as should form a necessary part of their education. Such historical works as have been published in the past have either been so voluminous as to be unsuited to the needs of the busy and overtaxed student and practitioner, or they have been confined to special subjects or periods, or to small pamphlets used for advertising purposes. This much neglected subject has become a part of the curriculum of our dental schools, and thus there is created a new interest in the struggles of our professional forefathers. A fuller understanding of their diflS culties and achievements should inspire us with renewed energy and zeal as we view our present discouragements in the light of future possibilities. J. A. Taylor. 1317 FS treet, N. W., Washington, D. C.
