Excerpt from Diseases: The Liver, Gall Bladder, and Biliary System: Their Pathology, Diagnosis, and Surgical Treatment
The present volume is a revised version of the Jacksonian Prize Essay of the Royal College of Surgeons of England for the year 1894. The original Essay had two Appendices, one containing the clinical records of a considerable number of cases, and the other an account of some experimental investigations on the surgery of the liver and biliary system, which I carried out in the laboratories of the Royal Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons. In revising the Essay for publication, the subject-matter of these Appendices has been incorporated in the body of the work, and at the same time an account of the pathology of the different affections dealt with has been introduced.
For permission to publish the book I am indebted to the Council of the Royal College of Surgeons, and to them I beg to offer my thanks.
I am greatly indebted to the members of the staff of St. Bartholomew"s Hospital, who have allowed me to examine the cases under their care and make use of their notes, and also for affording me the opportunity of having a number of drawings and photographs taken from the preparations in the museum of the Hospital.
