Excerpt from A System of Operative Surgery, Vol. 1: Founded on the Basis of Anatomy
In the study of anatomy and surgery, strong motives are required to investigation and experiment. Our enquiries must still be rendered interesting, and our industry excited, by ingenious theory and speculative views. Without these, our efforts will be languid, and our pursuit of science fu tile and without energy. But the author Of this work must disclaim all these more pleasing methods of investigating his subjects, and keep steadily in his mind the Object he has already professed. Having to deliver a simple and concise system of rules for the actual practice Of surgery, he must keep close to the text, and can never venture to indulge in disquisition but on points the most essential. His wish is, that he may be said to have taken a simple and correct, not an ingenious View Of the practice Of surgery.
This work I profess to be original. In writing it, I have not collected my library around me, and consulted books chiefly. But though original in one sense, the student may discover in it no novelties, nor the intelligent surgeon, who holds communication with his fellows Of the profession, find any rules or Observations with which he is not familiar.
