    PREFACE. I Had for some time meditated the com¬ position of a small treatise on Gun-sliot Wounds, when the Royal College of Surgeons, in the year 1801, announced them as the subject of a Prize Disserta¬ tion. This induced me to lay aside my intention, the fulfilment of which, [ thought would probably be rendered un¬ necessary. But finding they were again proposed as a Thesis for last year, and thinking the circumstances of the times made it desirable that something should appear on the subject, I resolved to com¬ mit my ideas tJ writing, and to submit them, unknown, to the judgment of the College.
