Excerpt from Lectures on Causes, Pathology, and Treatment of Joint Diseases: Delivered at the McGill University Medical College, Montreal, Canada
In the succeeding pages I have set forth the results of my researches into the causes, pathology, and treatment of articular diseases. Whether they are equivalent to the labours of upwards of twenty years, I cheerfully leave to the verdict of the unbiassed portion of the profession.
But those will be able to form a correct estimate of my humble efforts in this line of scientific culture, who compare the crude state of surgical knowledge on the subject then existing, with the rapid strides it has made since the ground was first broken and prepared for the new seed.
I have certainly passed through an eventful period, full of contentions against preconceived dogmas, and defended with the pertinacity of theological fanaticism; but I had also my gratifications when the new doctrines, elicited by careful pathological and clinical investigations, forced themselves with irresistible logic into legitimate acknowledgment, and now actuate the surgical practice of the most prominent standard-bearers of professional advancement both at home and abroad.
This acknowledgment is quite sufficient to satisfy literary ambition, and I can afford to treat with forbearance the literary piracy that has availed itself, without due recognition, of the results of my labours.
