Excerpt from Practical Radiography: A Handbook for Physicians, Surgeons, and Other Users of X-Rays
The first edition of this book, - the earliest handbook of radiography in any language, - was issued in May of 1896, when the subject was less than six months old.
In 1898 the subject had so far grown in importance that a second edition, entirely re-written, seemed necessary.
In this winter, 1901-2, when radiography is recognized as a most valuable aid to the physician and surgeon, when its methods have become relatively permanent, and its apparatus and materials are fairly perfect, a third edition, much larger and more important than the others, seems necessary.
In introducing it the authors wish to acknowledge most gratefully the assistance which has been so cheerfully given to them by radiographers in many parts of the world, but especially by the members of The Rontgen Society and its secretary.
They have also to acknowledge the kindness of many firms and friends in placing electros of their apparatus at their disposal. Among others may be mentioned Baird & Tatlock; A. F. Cossor; Harry Cox, Limited; A. E. Deane of London; T. Ernecke, Berlin; A. W. Hirschmann, Berlin; Max Kohl, Chemnitz; Newton & Co.; Rebman & Co.; The India Rubber Works Co.; and James Wimshurst.
