Excerpt from Surgery and Society: A Tribute to Listerism
The motives and purposes of this volume are in part personal, in part public. The personal motives are gratitude for great benefit lately received from surgery and desire to make some reparation for too hard words spoken of the surgical profession some years ago under stress of intense and honest conviction. The public motives are, to state the case for surgery and therefore for science, in modern society; once more to challenge the anti-Vivisectionists; to demand the first of what I call the Rights of Mothers, from my standpoint as a Eugenist; to state the women's share in this most beneficent of human achievements, and to discuss the place and needs of surgery in the new experiments for national control of disease, towards which modern politics is tending.
