Abstract
WRITTEN by one who is himself a thinker, worker, and teacher, this book furnishes the beginner with an excellent introduction to the science, art, and craft of surgery. Most manuals are addressed by the expert to other experts, or at least to advanced students. In the present volume the author sets himself, very successfully, to lay the foundations on which a more detailed knowledge may be reared. The ground which surgery covers is indicated, and its broad outlines are denned; space is given to preventive treatment and surgical sanitation generally; and the main surgical affections of the different regions of the body are described. The book may be cordially recommended.
