    PREFACE. The following pages are based on the surgical portion of a course of demonstrations given annually by me during the past seven years in the museum of St. Mary's Hospital. The arrangement of the matter is, to a considerable extent, influ- enced by experience gained in re-arranging and describing the collection of pathological specimens in that museum. It has been my endeavour in this book, as it was in my oral teaching, to put the material in as objective a form as possible, and to lay before the student a plan of the whole basis of surgery so arranged that he might readily be able to fill in further details from clinical experience and teaching, and from study. Since the work is intended chiefly for students, the pathology of common affections has been given more fully than that of rarer conditions; at the same time, in order to justify the existence of the book, it has been necessary to give something more than a bare description of appearances that can be studied in mortuary and museum. The only justification that need be urged in favour of the separate existence of works on surgical pathology as distinguished from pathology at large, 18 that in such works alone can the subject be dealt with so as to make the applications of pathological knowledge to surgical practice clear and prominent. Wherever I have ven- tured to deviate from the usual method of treating any topic the step has been directed by a long experience of teaching Thus, in the description of healing of wounds, the terms usually employed are modified, because I have found that the student is confused bv^^adiag^ one class of wounds as healing by granulat^^^^^^ j^^^l^i ^^^^^^^
