    It is now nearly twelve years since this work was corainenced, and diuaiig- that period tliei-e is S(!arcely a page that has not been written and re-witten many times. Tliis slow rate of progress has been due pai'tly to the inevitable delay caused by the many other demands on my time, and in part also to the rapid development of a new specialty involving frequent modification of \dews, and bringing constant additions to the literatm-e of the subject. No one can be more keeidy aware than myself how great a gulf is fixed between the conception and the actual execution of my design, and in a book of such extent numerous errors must, in spite of the utmost vigilance, have escaped my notice. I confess that liad T foreseen liow much time and troulfie the work, im])or- fect as it is, would have co.st me, 1 should never have had tlie courage to undertake it. Even now I am unable to issue tlie volume iu its iutegrity as originally planned, the section of I)i.seases of the Nose and Naso- pharynx having grown under my hands to such dimen- sions that it has been found impossible to include Diseases of the Neck. I hope, howet’cr, that this division, the grfiater part of which is already in ]iriut, will shoi-tly ap])car iii a S(q)arat(‘ Form as one oF my series of “ Essays on Throat Diseases.”
