![lijivc beeu ample. I can <>i»ly regret now tliat these excel- lent advantages have not been turned to better account, and that my indu&trv and perseverance have been so far below my ])rivilege.s. For this, my apology, not my excuse, must be, a lite somewhat actively devoted to the practice of my ]>roteg.sion and to its public teaching, leaving me less time to devote to scientific studies, than those studies, for their successful prosecution, imperatively demand. In illustrating the work, I have not hesitated to borrow largely from my friends. By the kind permission of the j)nblishers, I have availed myself of a large number of admi- ral)le woodcuts from Pajjet's work on JSur<rical Pathologv, and from Billroth's work on the same subject, translated by Ilackley. All the original illustrations, mainly taken from specimens in the cabinet of the Xew York Hospital, were made for me by Mr. Joseph Ilarlov, of this city, and are, I think, remarkably fine examples of his beautiful art. The photographs, on which so much of the success of a woodcut dejjends, were made by Mr. O. G. Mason, the accomplished photographer of Bellevue Hospital. I cann<»t too warmly express my thanks to my profes- sional friends, who havi- in every possible way encouraged and assisted me in my work. I can only say that, if there be any merit in the book, it is largely the result of their kind and active cooperation, and that a good share of the most valuable observations have been contributed by their generous friendshij). • If the reading (»f my book should atlVtnl as nuK-li jn-ofit as the preparing of it has given me ]»leasure, I shall have reason to be abundantly 8:itisfied with what I have done.
