Excerpt from On the Injuries and Diseases of Bones: Eing Selections From the Collected; Edition of the Clinical Lectures of Baron Dupuytren; Translated and Edited by F. Le Gros Clark
In acknowledging the honour which the Council of the Sydenham Society has conferred on me, in requesting me to translate and edit a Volume, comprising all the papers on the Injuries and Diseases of the Bones, contained in Professor Dupuytren"s Lecons Orales," I take the opportunity of subjoining the following introductory remarks, in explanation of the scope, objects and arrangement of the work.
In the original, the articles in question are scattered through the first two volumes of the "Lecons Orales," without any regard to appropriate collocation. Moreover, much confusion is the consequence of frequent and sudden changes from the first to the third person; - the Professor being made sometimes to speak in the former, at others in the latter; or, again, his Editors speak for him, or quote his opinions. In the translation it has been thought desirable to impart an uniform style to the work; as well as to render the French into corresponding idiomatic English as far as was compatible with a strict adherence to the meaning of the author. To carry out this intention a paraphrastic translation has been, in a measure, rendered essential. Compression also has been resorted to in details generally; and many of the cases have been abridged, especially in those parts of them which have no immediate reference to the subjects under consideration.
