Excerpt from On the Operative Surgery of Malignant Disease
At the end of two years, during which all my leisure has been devoted to this work, I venture to issue it to the Profession, not because it is complete, but because it is as complete as my means of information and knowledge have permitted me to make it in the time which has been given to it. And if I am asked why I did not devote a longer time to the collection of material, and thus render some of the chapters for more complete than they are at present, my answer must be that a book of this particular character should not occupy too long in the making, lest some parts of it should fall behind the times and be old when the book is yet new. At the best, it can only at the moment at which it is written, and I cannot hope that it will occupy a lasting place in the literature of the subject.
But I do hope that it may attain one or other, or all, of the following ends: -
Indicate the class of cases and the parts of the body which may be treated by operative means with the best prospect of success.
Encourage the performance of operations in suitable cases at the earliest possible period.
