A Text-Book of Pathological Anatomy and Pathogenesis

Abstract

FOR some years the student of medicine has felt the want of an English manual of modern Pathological Anatomy. He has been compelled either to trust entirely to his teacher, or to consult works and memoirs little adapted for beginners. This felt want the English edition of Ziegler's Pathology, when completed, will in great part meet. The author believing “that the learner gains a readier grasp of his subject when it is first presented to him as a uniform and coherent system of doctrine,” has, by avoiding “much matter of controversy,” succeeded in making a clear and concise statement of each subject treated. In this the author has been well seconded by the editor, who, by carefully revising and amending the original, by adding numerous references to English and French memoirs, and by otherwise with characteristic ability adapting the work for English readers, has greatly enhanced its value.
