    Viii PREFACE TO THE AMERICAN EDITION. extensive additions, in order to adapt it to the present state of dental practice. These are designated [by brack- ets,] and are about equal to three-fourths of the original text. He has also added seven plates, remodeled the arrangement of the subjects, and placed over each an appropriate caption. The English editions are divided into two parts. This has three. The last is devoted to artificial teeth, obtura- tors and palates, and with the exception of four or five pages, consists of additions furnished by the editor. Although it has been deemed necessary to change the arrangement of some of the subjects of the Treatise, the whole of the original text, with the exception of some ten or twelve pages, will be found in the present edition of the work. These were left out, because they related to treatment of affections of the teeth which at present is never adopted. It will be found that the scope of the work has not been materially enlarged—the chief aim of the editor having been, to supply such details of subsequent im- provements in practice, as the present state of the science and art seemed to demand. If the manner in which he has done this shall prove satisfactory to his professional brethren, his object will have been accomplished, and he will not regret having consented to assume the task.
