![PREFACE. The aim of tlir aiitlior in jircparin*;' this treatise is to sii[t[)ly an admitted want in dental literature. Much that is new in dentisti'v and much more that is, b}' maiiv jiractitioiiers at least, oidy imperl'ectly understood, is invohed in crown- and bridge-work. Properly practiced it approaches a fine art; hut misapprehension of the princi[»les underlying it, lack of judgment in their application, a)id im- proper practice have conspired to pre\eiit its general acceptation by the })rotession, and it has in conse([uence been oidy partially indorsed or even wholly condemned when a better understan<hng would liave insured its hearty approval. Still, its possibilities are seen to be so great that at ])resent no other branch of dentistry more engages the attention of [mictitioiK'rs, and in no other is a livelier interest or a greater desire foi- real information manifested. The subject is liere presented almost wholly from the practical stand-point, in the behef that the utility and esthetic advantages of crown- and bridge-work may l)e thus more rea(hly made apparent to the practical men in dentistry. To this end (lie various methods described are classified in systems, and their treatment is made as concise as their importance will permit. Due credit is given where the methods and (k'scriptions of others are used. Acknowledgment is gratefullj^ rendered to Drs. IT. A. Parr, of New York City, E. Parmly Brown, of Flushing, N. Y., and M. II. Fletcher, of Cincinnati, for personal assistance. George Evans. New York, Aujrust, 1888.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21223105_0011.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
