Book excerpt: Excerpt from Original Cases With Dissections and Observations Illustrating the Use of the Stethoscope and Percussion in the Diagnosis of Diseases of the Chest In Publishing the present volume, I believe that I am actuated by the very best motive which a medical man can alledge for becoming an author, - namely, the conviction that the work is wanted, and will be useful to the profession. No other motive, indeed, could have had sufficient weight, to induce me to come before the public with a performance so obviously and avowedly imperfect; and even this should not have been permittted to influence my conduct at this time, but for the additional consideration, that any advantages likely to be derived by the profession from a more finished work, would be greatly counterbalanced by the delay that must necessarily be incurred by its construction. The following pages, I am well assured, contain sufficient evidence to convince any candid enquirer, of the great value of the diagnostic measures which it is their object to recommend; and although there can be no doubt, that the additional experience of a few more years, might have enabled me greatly to strengthen this evidence, and to present it in a form, probably more agreeable to the reader, and certainly more creditable to the author, I should have only then attained the very same object (at least all that is really valuable in it) which I can at once secure by the present publication.
