Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on Fractures and Dislocations Tue preparation of this edition for the press has been a grateful service to the Editor. He was a pupil of the Author at the time of the conception of the work, and during the period of the collection and arrangement of the greater part of the materials for the first edition. Subsequently he was associated with the Author, for many rears, in the same school and hospital. These intimate relations gave to the Editor direct familiarity with much of the original clinical matter which enriches the volume. He was also personally cognizant of the vast amount of labor bestowed on the work by the Author in his efforts to perfect the several editions, and his conscientious regard for truth and accuracy of detail, so noticeable on every page. It is doubtful if any surgical work has appeared during the last half century which more completely filled the place for which it was designed. Its great merits appear most conspicuously in its clear, concise, and yet compre hensive statement of principles, which renders it an admirable text-book for teacher and pupil, and in its wealth of clinical materials, which adapts it to the daily necessities of the practitioner. The efforts of the Editor have been in the direction of rendering the text more compact, of eliminating matter now irrelevant, of using a subordinate type for clin ical cases, of illustrating the various subjects more fully by selected cuts, and of adding such new facts, cases, and opinions as were deemed neces saw to render the work a correct exponent of the present state of knowl edge in this department of practice. He trusts that these changes and additions to the last edition will prove to have, in some degree, enhanced the practical value and usefulness of the work. The new illustrations, amounting to one hundred and five, have been selected chiefly from such well-known works as Erichsen, Bryant, Stimson. Pick, Pye, etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
