Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on the Diseases, Injuries, and Malformations of the Urinary Bladder, the Prostate Gland, and the Urethra The materials of which the work consists have been gradually ao cumulating upon my hands for a long time; but it has been only within the last three years that the labour of arranging them, and of putting them in their present form, seriously occupied my atten tion. The task, although not a light, has been an agreeable one. As the subject expanded under my eye, my feelings became more and more interested, and I almost regretted, when the last line was written, that my labour was ended. In looking over the printed sheets, as they have been sent to me by my publishers, I have found, here and there, an expression or a sentence that might have been improved, if I could have personally superintended the press; but the errors are, I believe, few and unimportant, and such as an indulgent reader, intent upon the acquisition of knowledge, rather than the discovery of faults, will readily excuse. My friend, Dr. Francis Gurney Smith, the talented editor of the Philadelphia Medical Examiner, is entitled to my warmest thanks, for the able manner in which he has corrected the proofs. The labour of superintending the press of a large scientific work may be'imagined by the reader, but can only be appreciated by him who has actually experienced it. The work is illustrated by upwards of one hundred engravings on wood, Of which nearly one-half are from drawings prepared expressly for it, under my immediate supervision, by Mr. Henry A. Daniels, of New York, a young artist of great promise. Their fidelity may, therefore, be fully relied upon. The engravings were executed by Mr. W. B. Gihon of Philadelphia, whose skill in this particular depart ment of art is well known. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
