    As to the instruments, except occasionally for purposes of com- parison, only those found of value in my own practice are figured. They are generally drawn to scale, so as to be available as work- ing drawings. The majority of the instruments illustrated and described have been made for me according to my patterns by Messrs. Krohne and Sesemann, of Duke Street, Manchester Square; but I am also much indebted to Messrs. Coxeter and to Messrs. Mayer and Meltzer for carrying out and perfecting several of my crude suggestions as to new instruments and improvements. Without the mechanical and practical skill of such firms, the so-called inventions of many of us would prove but of slight utility when tested in the consulting-room or operating theatre. As mentioned in the preface, care has been exercised to give the names of all to whom credit is accorded for originality as well as of those from whom I may differ on points of theory and practice, and any omission in either of these directions is acci- dental. With a view, however, of ensuring greater comfort of perusal, the luxury of foot-notes or intercalated references is /altogether dispensed with, and their space supplied by a biblio- graphical list of references at the end of each chapter. It will be observed that I quote very largely from the writings of my American confreres in the specialty. No excuse is needed for this procedure, because from no quarter have we derived, in these later days, so many original observations and suggestions of real practical value as from the members of the American Laryn- gological Association. One word more—to avoid reiteration, it is to be noted that allusion to ' colleagues' refers always to my co-workers on the surgical staff of the Central London Throat and Ear Hospital, who, in addition to a willingness at all times to give me assistance m my own work, have with rare liberality and unanimity always drawn my attention to any cases of unusual interest occurring in their own practice. Lastly, a full list of formulae of remedies is appended, reference bemg made to it in the text by numerals corresponding to those affixed to the formulae. REFERENCES TO AUTHORITIES. PAGE. NO. NAME.
