    Horace Greeley, in his '' History of the American Conflict, wrote Lis preface under the caption of Preliminary Egotism. This being of necessity the very nature of all book prefaces, the Author of A Manual of Bandaging would hereby acknowledge the pleasure he bas received from the kindly reception awarded the first edition of his Book. Not only have Physicians, in private letters to fhe Author, commended the work very highly, but the Medical Press has been equally generous in its bestowal of praise. Prominent Professors in various Medical Colleges have also included it among the text-buuks recommended to their stu- dents. To all of these kind friends the Author would now return his thanks, This second edition of the Manual has been enlarged by the addition of fully one-fourth of new matter, and new illustrations. The chapters most largely added to have been those devoted to the Bandages of the Upper Extremity, Bandages of the Lower Extremity, and Im- movable Dressings; though most of the other chapters have received additions of new matter aud new illustrations as well. So, too, some of the old cuts have been discarded, and new and better ones have been put in their places. The general classification, and manner of description, as given in the previous edition, has been retained; this will be found fully described in the following Preface. To the various medical gentlemen who have assisted him in the prepa- ration of this new edition, by criticism and new matter furnished; and also the instrument house of John Reynders & Co., for the loan of cuts to illustrate the portion devoted to the description of Professor Sayre's Spinal Apparatus, the Author would now tender his thanks, sincerely hoping this new edition of his book will be found as worthy of com- mendation as the first.
