![THE EDITOR'S PREFACE. In preparing the present Edition of Professor Miller's Treatise On the Practice of Surgery, the Editor has endeavored, so far as he was able, to supply any omissions which the author may have accidentally made, and has suggested such amendments as appeared advisable. The matter thus added will be found incorporated with the text, inclosed in brackets, thus [ ]. A large number of additional wood-cuts have been introduced into the reprint, chiefly to illustrate objects described but not figured by the author. They are taken in most instances from the last edition of Mr. Fergusson's Practical Surgery, from Mr. Lawrence's Treatise on the Eye, and from Professor Gross's excellent Monograph On the Diseases Injuries of the Bladder. The favor with which Professor Miller's contributions have been re- ceived, renders it unnecessary to pass any encomiums upon them, far- ther than to state that the Second Edition of the Practice of Surgery, of which the present issue is a copy, is a great improvement upon the first; and that, in connection Avith the volume on the Principles, it forms one of the be3t expositions of the present state of Surgery in the English language. Philadelphia, July, 1853.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21141204_0009.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
