Excerpt from Operative Dental Surgery

This work is based upon a long series of dental lectures which I have delivered to the members of the Incorporated Dental Society, in London and various cities and towns throughout Great Britain, during a period of fourteen years. It has been written at the suggestion of Mr. F. Butterfield, Honorary Secretary of the Society, whose exceptional organizing abilities have resulted in the public acknowledgment of that institution as being beneficial to the practice of dentistry and to the public of this country.

The lectures were designed to bring to chairside work such medical and surgical principles as would ensure that practical operative procedure be firmly based upon true knowledge.

I am deeply indebted to the many dental and medical works which have been so comprehensively written by authorities on these subjects, as the main source of my knowledge, coupled with extensive practical investigation of any sections bearing on the art of dentistry, and to constant visits to the Royal College of Surgeons" Museum and the South Kensington Natural History Museum; also to the many courtesies extended by many medical and dental practitioners during a period of over twenty years.

The large number of specimens at my disposal have been collected during a number of years, and have provided illustrations for the work. Thirteen of them I drew myself and the remainder I specially prepared for the photographer.

To the authors of the books which 1 have selected as the basis of many of my lectures I desire to express full indebtedness. Lists of these works are given in the course of the chapters on various subjects. Especially would I mention Marshall"s "Operative Dentistry," Halliburton"s "Physiology," Gray"s "Anatomy," Cunningham"s "Anatomy," Holden"s "Osteology," Blair"s "Surgery of the Mouth and Jaws," and Prinz"s "Dental Materia Medica."
