Excerpt from Diseases of the Throat, Nose and Ear
This book has been written from the practical point of view, and for that reason many interesting scientific problems and issues have necessarily been omitted. On the other hand, considerable attention has been devoted to operative surgery, but here, also, limitation of space has rendered it impossible to describe the many modifications and variations of the operations.
In addition to the acknowledgments for the use of illustrations borrowed from other sources, I desire to offer my sincere thanks to Dr. Robert Knox, Dr. Andrew Wylie, Dr. William Hill, Dr. Irwin Moore, Mr. W. M. Mollison, and Mr. J. Gay French for kindly granting me the loan of valuable blocks.
The original illustrations are for the most part the production of Mr. S. A. Sewell, who has succeeded admirably in giving pictorial expression to my suggestions and ideas.
For the photographs, I am indebted to the careful skill of Mr. J. Peach, of the Central London Throat and Ear Hospital.
The original of the coloured frontispiece is one of the drawings executed for Sir Morell Mackenzie by Lennox Browne, for long in the possession of Mr. E. Mayer, of Messrs. Mayer and Phelps, and recently presented by him, together with manuscripts and instruments belonging to Mackenzie, to the Royal Society of Medicine. As far as I am aware, the drawing has never before been reproduced.
I am deeply conscious of the debt I owe to Mr. Mayer for his generous permission to use this historical picture, and I am confident that all readers who benefit by its clear and graphic representation of the laryngeal features in recurrent laryngeal paralysis, will share my feeling of gratitude.
