Excerpt from Lectures on the Theory and Practice of Surgery
To the Medical Practitioners of Ireland of the present day, who, with scarcely an exception, have been pupils of the late Professor Colles, the Publishers feel that it would be superfluous to offer any excuse for presenting them with a faithful transcript of the lessons which they have had the advantage of receiving direct from the lips of that eminent Surgeon. To these gentlemen it can only be necessary to say that the present publication has been compiled from notes of several courses of Mr. Colles's Lectures, taken and carefully collated with the manuscripts of others of his pupils, by a gentleman whose professional zeal and accurate information are well known to his brethren. The following pages will readily be admitted, by those best capable of forming a judgment on the subject, to contain a true and correct record, not only of the matter of the invaluable Lectures delivered by Mr. Colles, but of the manner of the Lecturer, and, as such, the Publishers trust their undertaking cannot fail to be acceptable to those who enjoyed the pleasure of his acquaintance, or profited by his instruction, and who will here find an agreeable reminiscence of past times.
There is another class to which the publication of this "Body of Surgery" in a cheap and accessible form, will be productive of an important benefit. The Lectures of Mr. Colles were eminently practical, and in them the student and young surgeon will find that assistance, in the daily occurrences and difficulties of practice, which they would seek in vain amid the bushels of theoretic chaff, by which the grains of actual knowledge are too often concealed in systematic treatises on surgery.
