Institutes and Practice of Surgery, Vol. 1 of 2: Being Outlines of a Course of Lectures (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from Institutes and Practice of Surgery, Vol. 1 of 2: Being Outlines of a Course of Lectures

The additions to the present and last editions are considerable, and will be found important, I trust, and apposite. If I have apparently overlooked, however, in some instances, the claims of surgeons whose general merits are acknowledged by the profession, the omission must be imputed not to illiberality, or inadvertence but to the difficulty of introducing into an elementary work of this description matter which properly belongs to a comprehensive system of surgery.

I have thought it necessary, moreover, to alter the arrangement of the work by transposing parts of the second volume to the first, and by changing, entirely, the order of subjects in the second volume. This has been done for the purpose of making the surgical course in the University, correspond with the anatomical lectures, so that the account of surgical diseases may follow, immediately, the anatomy of the parts. Upon the whole, I am persuaded - that the work, deficient, as it still may be, in some respects, will be found enhanced in value, and that the present edition - the seventh - cannot fail to prove acceptable to the student, espe cially as valuable new matter has been added, and new plates introduced - inde pendently of the work having been gotten up by the new publishers, Messrs. Kay and Brother, in a very superior style.

About the Author

About The Author

William Gibson is an American & Canadian speculative fiction writer widely credited with pioneering the science fiction subgenre known as cyberpunk. Gibson notably coined the term "cyberspace" in his short story "Burning Chrome" and later popularized the concept in his acclaimed debut novel Neuromancer . In later works—like Pattern Recognition and Count Zero—he gradually moved away from science fiction and futuristic work, instead writing about the strange contemporary world we inhabit.
