Excerpt from Conservative Surgery in Its General and Successful Adaptation in Cases of Severe Traumatic Injuries of the Limbs, 1867: With a Report of Cases
Gentlemen;
If by the act of dedicating a scientific production to gentlemen high in position, its introduction to the confidence of an intelligent medical public is sought to be attained, I feel like presuming on your exalted station in the surgical world, and your generosity, while legging you to suffer your illustrious names to be affixed to the pages of this little work - hardly deserving of such a title- about to be sent forth on its mission.
However unworthy it may appear in comparison with your great professional achievements, still, as the subject, therein treated, is of intrinsic value to the profession, and of vast benefit to suffering mankind, I hope and trust that you will, while kindly overlooking its defects, grant it at hast an earnest and attentive consideration, and accord to me the pleasing gratification that I, too, in my humble sphere, have tried to add a mite to the accumulated experience in that great storehouse of reform and progress, so pre-eminently enriched by the labors, zeal and devotion of the burgeons of the Nineteenth Century.
