Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annals of Military and Naval Surgery and Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, Vol. 1: Being an Annual Retrospect Embracing the Experience of the Medical Officers of Her Majesty's Armies and Fleets in All Parts of the World; For the Year 1863 The object of this Work is to comprise in one portable volume a retrospective history of Military and Naval Medicine and Surgery during each year, carefully noting every fact and Opinion of importance, and thus fostering a useful esprit de corps and awaking and stimulating inquiry. The Annals will not interfere with any existing publi cation, but aims at filling an unoccupied place in our Medical Literature; for the Naval and Military Services have become, to a certain extent, a speciality of our profession, not only as respects many questions in Medicine and Surgery, but in the wide field of preventive medicine and the economy of Armies in camp and in garrison. Bearing on these important sub jects there is yearly published a mass of information which never meets the eye of officers serving on remote foreign sta tions, being scattered in bulky official papers, and in a variety of books and periodicals at home and abroad. To select, to abridge and arrange these valuable materials is the task which the Editor, during a period of sick leave, has undertaken, in the hope that the compilation will form an accessible storehouse of departmental investigation, useful to his professional brethren, and well worthy of the attention of the soldier, the sailor, and the statesman.
