    PREFACE. In the following pages, T have endeavoured to give a concise account of the changes that take place in the stracture of the rectum, and of the symptoms and treatment of its diseases. Although the subject has been inuch and ably written on, I have been assured that such a work, founded upon adequate observation, and including modern improvements in treatment, would be acceptable to the younger members of the profession. That there will be found many deficiencies, I am fully aware; indeed, a complete treatise has not been attempted, but it has rather been my object to offer such views of pathology as may lead to judicious practice. Should I be so far successful, or have in any degree aided in the promotion of surgical knowledge, I shall be suiSciently rewarded for the pains bestowed in preparing these observations. 37, New Broad Street, City, AprU 1851.
