    PREFACE TO THE SECO]ND EDITION. The present volume differs from the first edition of this work, which has been now about a year out of print, in several important particulars. In the first edition primary attention was devoted to the subject of the Diagnosis of the Diseases of Women : the treatment of these diseases was considered sepa- rately in the latter part of the work, while the subject of the pathology of these diseases although not excluded was not systematically entered into. In this new edition the pathology has been considered in conjunction with the treatment of the diseases of women. Very considerable additions have been made for the pnrpose of rendering the work more complete in this respect, while in its present form it will be found, so far as the facilities ofi:ered for studying the diagnosis are con- cerned, in no respect difi'erent to those presented in the first edition. Apart from the question simply of arrangement, further ex- perience and observation of the diseases here treated of has necessitated changes and additions of other kinds. Lastly, and this must plead my excuse for the delay in the appearance of the new edition, the work is now enriched by the addition of numerous illustrations. Concerning these a few explanatory remarks are necessary. Upwards of sixty of these illustrations are original : a few of these are delineations of instruments, a few are drawings
