Excerpt from A System of Surgery, Vol. 1 of 2: Pathological, Diagnostic, Therapeutic and Operative
The favor with which the work has been received is sufficiently attested by the rapid exhaustion of four large editions, by its translation into the Dutch language, and by the universal commendation bestowed upon it by the periodical press, both at home and abroad. This evidence, so gratifying to my feelings as an author, instead of abating my ardor, has only served to stimulate me to increased exertion to render the work still more useful as a faithful exponent of the existing state of the art and science of surgery.
Upon the edition now issued upwards of five years of arduous labor have been expended. Every chapter has been thoroughly revised; the text has been augmented by an amount of matter fully equal to four hundred and fifty pages; and numerous new woodcuts, nearly all expressly prepared for the purpose, have been introduced. Many portions have been* entirely rewritten, and every effort has been made to condense the language; while an enlargement in the form of the work has prevented any considerable increase in the number of pages. The general arrangement is the same as in the previous imprints; and the additions, for the most part widely scattered through the text, are essentially of a practical character.
