Excerpt from The Pathology of Growth Tumours
In the following pages I have endeavoured to deal with the pathology of tumours and the allied subjects of hypertrophy, regeneration, etc.
Throughout the volume I have laid most stress on the physiological aspects of the subject. I have endeavoured to consider, not only the question what? but also the questions how? and why? Considerable space has, therefore, been devoted to such questions as the relation between functional activity and growth, and the origin, life history, and causation of tumours. Similarly the illustrations have been selected to show, not merely the structure of the various tumours, but also the mode of growth and the relation of the tumour to the organism.
The illustrations are all original and, except where otherwise stated, are from photomicrographs. Most of them are from my own specimens; others, for the use of which I have to thank Professor J. Lorrain Smith and Dr. W. Mair, are from specimens in the pathological department of the University of Manchester. I am indebted to Mr. J. W. Dunkerley, L.D.S., of Manchester, for the loan of the section from which Fig. 16 was taken. Lastly, I have to express my thanks to Mr. W. Manby, laboratory steward in the pathological department of the University, who has spent much time and trouble in preparing the illustrations for me.
