Excerpt from A Collection of Remarkable Cases in Surgery

He has not presumed to suppose this to be a collection of all the remarkable cases which have occurred in surgery, but of course only those accessible to him most deserving a place, and entitled to credit. The object has been merely to gather for preservation the valuable material now existing mostly in a perishable form; to col lect the important and instructive cases from our journals, &c., and arrange them for future reference. And whatever else may not be derived from the work now before the reader, it certainly suggests one practical lesson; this is, not to be easily discouraged in desperate surgical cases.

In making this collection we early experienced l'embarras des richesses. Much matter prepared for it has necessarily been omitted for lack of space, even in a large volume. This we hope will be ample apology for the absence of several cases which otherwise would have appeared. None, we believe, have been admitted into the collection but such as are strictly authentic; as it has been our aim to reject all of a doubtful character. In a work where we have found so much said for us, the labor has been light; and the only merit, if there be any at all, is in the selection of the matter. Of this the profession must judge.
