Excerpt from Surgery: Its Theory and Practice
Although it is little more than a year since the second edition was published, the whole book has again been thoroughly revised and much new matter added. The chief additions and alterations, however, will be found in the Section on General Pathology. During the last few years Virchow's theory of inflammation has been steadily gaining ground ; in the present edition it is adopted in place of that of Cohnheim. The sections on Bacteriology, on Tubercle, and on Hydrophobia, have been extended and in part re-written, and a short account has been given of Actinomycosis.
The book now contains thirty-six additional pages and twenty-four new illustrations beyond what were in the second edition.
I am again indebted to Mr. W. G. Spencer for his kindness in looking over the proof-sheets, for much valuable advice, and for two of the drawings. I have also to thank my friend, Dr. Kanthack, for his help in revising the Section on Bacteriology.
The new woodcuts were drawn by Mr. Leonard Mark, M. R. C. S., Artist to St. Bartholomew's Hospital.
