Excerpt from The Science and Art of Surgery, Being a Treatise on Surgical Injuries, Diseases, and Operations, Vol. 1 Every effort has been made to render the Science and Art of Surgery in its Sixth Edition worthy of that confidence with which the Profession has so long favoured it, as a Guide to the Practitioner and a Text-Book for the Student in Surgery. And although little more than three years has passed since the publication of the last Edition, it has been found necessary, in order to enable the present one to keep abreast of the general advance of Surgical Science and Practice, to make considerable changes in the work, by which I trust it will be found to have been correspondingly improved. Notwithstanding every desire to prevent any unnecessary increase in the size of the Volumes, it has been found impossible to keep them within the limits even of the last Edition, and a considerable addition to the text has been rendered unavoidable, although much matter that was somewhat obsolete has been struck out. Several chapters have been recast, and some almost rewritten. The alterations and additions thus made have not been confined to any one part of the Work, but have been very generally distributed through the various subjects of which it treats. Many of the woodcuts have been redrawn, and nearly a hundred new illustrations have been added. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy.
