![PREFACE. The Pathological Preparations described in the following pages were added to the Museum of St. George^s Hospital during the years 1866-1881 by Mr. T. P. Pick, Dr. Whipham, Mr. Haward, Dr. Robert Lee, Dr. Ewart, and the present writer, who filled in succession the office of Curator. The descriptions are based upon those given in the manu- script catalogue kept by the Curators, but to ensure the uni- formity of method and style essential to the utility of the work, they have been, in every case, re-written from an examination of the actual specimen, and the clinical details abstracted afresh from the records to which references are given. The accounts of microscopical appearances are, however, for the most part, re- produced directly. References are given to the Transactions of various Societies, to the Registrars’ records of Medical and Surgical Gases pre- served in St. George’s Hospital, and to the Post-mortem and Case Books of the same Hospital, which may be consulted in the Museum. The last-mentioned series of records contain the Curators’ accounts of post-mortem appearances, coupled with clinical abstracts furnished by the Registrars. I have much pleasure in acknowledging the invaluable assistance afforded me in revisiug the proofs of this work by Mr. Clinton T. Dent, and by Dr. A. T. Myers. ISAMBARD OWLN.
