Excerpt from A System of Surgery<br/><br/>The object of this work, as set forth in the first edition, issued in 1859, is to furnish a systematic and comprehensive treatise on. The art and science of sur gery, considered in the broadest sense; one that shall serve the practitioner as a faithful and available guide in his daily routine of duty. My aim has been to embrace the whole domain of surgery, and to allot to every subject its legiti mate claim to notice in the great family of external diseases and accidents. If a larger space than is customary has been devoted to the consideration of in?ammation and its effects, or the great principles of surgery, it is because of my conviction, founded upon long and close observation, that there are no sub jects so little understood by the general practitioner. Special attention has also been bestowed upon the discrimination of diseases; and an elaborate chapter on general diagnosis has been introduced. The work, although presented, as its title indicates, as a formal and system atic treatise, is founded upon the courses of lectures which it devolved upon me to deliver during the last forty-two years; first in the University of Louisville, for a long time the most ?ourishing medical school in the Southwest, and during the last twenty-six vears in the Jefferson Medical College, from which, in 1828, I received my degree. During all that period, I was unceasingly devoted to the duties of an arduous practice, both private and public; to the study of the great masters Of the art and science of medicine and surgery; and to the composition of various monographs which had a direct bearing upon a number of the subjects discussed in these volumes. The work should, therefore, be regarded as embodying the results of a large personal, as well as of a ripe, expe ricuce, of extensive reading, and of much re?ection; in a word, as exhibiting surgery as I myself understand it, and as I, for so many years, conscientiously taught it.
