Excerpt from The Physical Examination of the Chest, in Health and Disease
In this Manual I have endeavoured to embody prevalent doctrines with regard to the Physical Examination of the Chest so far as they are in accordance with practical experience, and to this end the works of many authorities have been consulted, a list of which will be found at the end of the book.
To the opinions of others I have added observations of my own, the result of many years" experience in the Outpatient and Pathological Departments of the Brompton Hospital, the number of patients that have come under my care being over twenty-two thousand.
It would encumber these few pages too much were I to quote, as I would fain do, all the authors from whom any fact has been gleaned, but it is necessary to acknowledge my indebtedness to the Works of Walshe, which are magistral in statement, accurate in detail, and full of evidence of a delicate, musical appreciation, which quality also characterises the observations of Flint, of New York, from whom I have learnt much.
