PREFACE TO FIFTH

EDITION.

To retain the small

size of the work and to

keep it up to date have

been the Author's aim in

the Fifth Edition.

20 Melville Street,

Edinburgh,

August 1883.

PREFACE TO THE

FIRST EDITION.

Having been asked, year after year,

by the members of my Class for

Operative Surgery, to recommend to

them some Manual of Surgical

Operations which might at once guide

them in their choice of operations, and

give minute details as to the mode of

performance, I have been gradually led

to undertake the production of this little

work.

My aim has been to describe as

simply as possible those operations

which are most likely to prove useful,

and especially those which, from their

nature, admit of being practised on the

dead body.

In accordance with this plan,

neither historical completeness of detail,

nor much variety in the methods of

performing any given operation, is to be

expected. Hence, also, many omissions

which would be unpardonable in the

briefest system of Surgery are

unavoidable. For example, excision of

tumours and operations for necrosis are

hardly mentioned, because for these no

special instructions can well be given;

for, while general principles may guide

us to what should be done, the special

circumstances of each case must dictate

how it is to be done.

In such a work as this, to attempt

originality would be undesirable and

intrusive; a judicious selection, a faithful

compilation, are all that can be

expected.

That the selection of operations

may sometimes show "Northern

Proclivities" is possible; and this is

perhaps not unnatural to a scholar and

teacher in the Edinburgh School.

An earnest endeavour has been

used to make the references correct and

copious: for any mistakes or omissions

the author would crave indulgence.

The four plates which precede the

letterpress were drawn on wood (from

original photographs) by Mr. D.W.

Williamson, Melbourne Place, and the

lines of incision for the various

operations were added by the author.

The rough woodcuts scattered

through the work were drawn on wood

by the author, and for their roughness he,

not his engraver, is responsible. He also

hopes that the references in the

letterpress will be accepted as sufficient

acknowledgment of the true ownership,

in those few instances in which the idea

of the diagram has been borrowed.

It has been thought unnecessary to

introduce woodcuts of surgical

instruments, as the illustrated catalogues
