Excerpt from Lectures on the Diseases of the Nose and Throat: Delivered During the Spring Session of Jefferson Medical College
In presenting this work to the profession, the author"s object is to furnish the general practitioner not only a guide for the treatment of the diseases of the nose and throat, but also to place before him a representation of the normal and diseased parts as they would appear to him were they seen in the living subject. To do justice to such an undertaking, coloring was obviously of prime importance, the difference between the normal and pathological state frequently being only appreciable in the change of color. With this object in view, the author has performed the part of artist, as well as anatomist, believing that, though deficient in the former capacity, he might be able to furnish more accurate representations than if the task were confided to a capable artist, unfamiliar with the special subject. Ninety-seven out of the hundred illustrations are original, the great majority of the cases presented being taken from the author"s private and hospital practice. Most of the anatomical plates, notably those on the larynx, were copied from nature, the rest being compiled from text-books on anatomy. Some illustrations, as may be noticed, are somewhat diagramatic, the intention being to render them easier of comprehension.
